The Execution Platform Þrístapar Site, Hringvegur 541, Iceland
THE EXECUTION PLATFORM
A turf rectangular platform with a level top was built. A fence was set up around it with poles and bars nailed between them. A block was placed on top of the platform, covered with a red cloth, but in it there was a narrow chin groove where the condemned were supposed to rest their heads.
AFTOKUPALLURINN
Hlaðinn var ferhyrndur pallur úr torfi, sléttur að ofan, og í kringum hann sett upp girðing með staurum og slár negldar á milli þeirra. Drumbur var lagður á pallinn, hulinn rauðu klæði, en í hann tálgað skarð fyrir hökuna þar sem þau dæmdu áttu að leggjast.
