gibbet

For years afterwards the place was known as Gibbet Hill, and, indeed, the country folk still speak of it by that name.

It was regarded with a loathing and abhorrence more intense than that in which the felons gibbet is held to-day.

From the gibbet that rose over the western branch of the road three corpses hung by the neck.

That massive pile of stones bore at its top four iron forks fastened at right angles, gibbet-shaped.

The latter stopped first before the iron gibbet that terminated in a carcan.
