Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trenching evaluation was carried out on two small hillocks at Gallows Knowe, Crossgates, Fife, in order to try to determine if either of them represented the site of a medieval gallows. The trial trenching uncovered a number of rubble field drains relating to 19th/20th century agricultural improvements but there were no features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance identified. The evidence from the evaluation indicates that neither of the two hillocks within the application area is the site of a medieval gallows. A considerably larger hillock on the southern side of the B925 is more likely to have been the location of Gallows Knowe; the rerouting of the B925 moved the road from its historic position skirting the southern edge of Gallows Knowe, to its current route cutting through the northern edge of this hillock.
