Gallows were a method of execution used primarily for hanging. They typically consisted of a wooden frame with a noose attached, where the condemned person would be positioned. Upon execution, a trapdoor would be opened, causing the individual to drop, leading to death by strangulation or neck breakage. The design aimed to ensure a quick death, although outcomes could vary depending on the drop height and the individual's weight.
These gallows remain unused.
