Monument record TQ 67 SW 129 - Gibbet (site of)
Summary
Three skeletons were found some fifty yards from the River Thames, which was thought to have been the site of the Gravesend gibbet. Experts were unable to date the bones precisely; but the finding of these bones, and others found in chains in 1910, all lend evidence to the existence of the gibbet at this spot.
