The site of the medieval parish church of Annan is probably indicated by an area of raised ground (about 19m by 8m) roughly at the centre of the present burial-ground. Within the burial-ground, and encroaching probably upon the site of the church area, there are a number of 18th-century grave-slabs, including an unusual pillar stone (dated 1713) carved in false relief. On the W side of the burial-ground, at the foot of the wall of the Burgh Buildings, there are four 17th-century gravestones, the earliest dated 1627.
The church site occupies a promontory position overlooking the bridging point of the Annan and the remains of the motte-and-bailey castle (NY16NE 49 and 4 respectively).
