Castle Douglas is developed alongside Carlingwark Loch in which traces of ancient crannogs can be discovered, proof of early inhabitation of the area. A large bronze cauldron consisting of concerning 100 metal items was found in Carlingwark Loch near Fir Island about 1866. The heap of devices of iron and also bronze is possibly Romano-Belgic of the late first or very early 2nd centuries AD and is likely to have actually been a votive offering. It is currently in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh.
