Nothing now remains of Athelstaneford Castle itself, although a solitary doocot hints at what once stood nearby.
The doocot is said to have been built in 1583 by George Hepburn, but Athelstaneford Castle predated that.
Athelstaneford Castle may be have been destroyed by Oliver Cromwell following his victory at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 when he is known to have sacked Dirleton Castle, Hailes Castle, Innerwick Castle, and Tantallon Castle.
