The remains of Holydean Castle and Hobbie Ker's Well are as described by RCAHMS. The vaulted undercroft is now used as a tractor shed. The RCAHM does not mention two short lengths of walling which are extant. The portion at NT 5374 3027 is 4.6m long, about 1.2m thick and 4.0m high, and houses Hobbie Ker's Well. The portion at NT 5375 3025 is 5.0m long, 1.2m thick and about 8.0m high, with a rectangular opening some 3.3m above ground level. Both fragments of wall are ivy-covered.
