Griffiths Root Cellar is located in Ship Harbour, Newfoundland. Built in 1950, the cellar is owned by the son of Pat Griffiths, and is no longer in use as a root cellar due to previous flooding resulting in the cellar being used as a well.

The hillside cellar has three sides and roof covered with earth, measures approximately 2m x 2m, and is made of concrete.
