The view of Berkshire from the highest chalk hill in the south of England .... a gibbet is where they used to hang people .... pretty good view!
This might need tweaking, it's a 'first draft' ...

I recollect that a gibbet was where the body was hung for public viewing after the official hanging procedure, more often than not at a crossroads! I can't actually see it here!
