The first church on this site comprised a nave and chancel only, adapted from a standin Roman building, presumably sometime in the Anglo-Saxon period.

Three areas were examined to assess the state and quality of any surviving post Roman archaeology.

Iron Age Pottery, Medieval Pottery, Stanwell Street

Roman & Medieval features, Kenton's shop, Head Street, recorded in 1973.

Evidence for at least one inhumation discovered during evaluation at 38-40 Crouch Street in 2004. Probably associated with the with the medieval house of Crouched Friars.

A layer of dark earth (L11, or L3 in the evaluation phase) directly overlay the Roman contexts on the site at 21 St Peter's Street, Colchester. It was not possible to discern archaeological features cut into the dark earth (L11) that overlay the gravel surface, although it is likely many features were cut whilst this layer was accumulating.

Late C17 timber-framed house with medieval cellar and C18 front. (NB. This is the same as MCC180; use that record).

Recorded as an 18th century brick-fronted building. A timber-framed survey by Richard Shackle in 2001 (or 2002), however, suggests the front range consists of two structures side by side. To the south is part of a medieval building of about 1450. To the north is a larger 17th century structure.

Ditch and gravelled street post-dating the Saxon huts (see PRN 12289), possibly the work of Edward the Elder.

Anchor Hill was probably the medieval market-place.
