- Description: This burial was one of four convict graves creating criminals’ cemetery. It was located outside the gallows, directly next to the southern foundation arch. The outline of the burial pit was unclear. The skeleton was laid face down, extended along the east–west axis, with the head to the west. The skull rested on the face, with the facial part slightly turned northward. A distinct displacement of the vertebrae was visible in the cervical section. The right upper limb was slightly bent at the elbow joint and placed across the back, with the hand bones located just below the pelvis. The skeleton was incomplete; the left upper limb, both lower limbs, and the left pelvic bone were missing. These losses are the result of the body having been exposed for a prolonged period. The grave contained the remains of a person who had been executed by hanging.
- Associated objects: gallows foundation, suicide cemetery, and other graves of condemned.
