* " The house or building between the waters." Darngaber is situated in the parish of Ha-
milton. On a small height, at the extremity of a tongue of land, where two rivulets form a junction,
are situated the ruins of a very ancient fortlet, dilapidated, time out of mind, and now almost wholly
overgrown with brushwood. A little lower down the stream are the remains of Plotcock Castle,
situated on a small conical mount, abruptly rising on one side from the bed of the rivulet.
