Sparsi su di essa sono le rovine dell'antica abbazia che dà il suo nome alla baia di Httle e la casa stessa, contenente le tombe di molti degli antenati di OConnells. Per travolgire il paesaggio sul lato terra - un jumble ofrock alternandosi con palude - privo di alberi, eccepper un piccolo shrubbery piantato da OConnell stesso, presenta una prospettiva piuttosto sognante ; ma a OConnellit è stato eneted dai ricordi più teneri di hisfinfanzia, e il turista che prenderà il troveto ascendere Coomakis
