Striking gatepost
The post against which the locking or slamming stile of the gate comes to rest; another name for the clapping gatepost.

Spurred post
A spurred gatepost is one that has been strengthened by having an additional member abutted against its foot or butted and fixed with through bolts. With the whole works buried and tamped with earth and rubble rammed against the spur, the post becomes super strong and stable. With a spurred gatepost, the spurred part needs to be buried within the gateway, to minimize the effect of the leverage when the gate is swung into the closed position. In the case of the shutting or locking post-also called a slamming or striking post-the spur needs to be buried on the opposite side of the post to the slamming side.

Slat dovetail
On a field gate, a feature in which the top end of the slats are dovetailed into the side of the top rail.
