Slip Gates,[1] also known as Stang Stoops,[1][2] Yatsteads [3] or Stang Pole Gateways[4] are a form of simple gate that once commonly in Europe controlled access to fields, lanes, etc. using removable cross-bars and two fixed posts, often of stone. The usually wood spars or stangs[2] were slotted into grooves cut into the stone piers[2] and held firmly in place at one end with wedges[5] and on the other end by being placed in a deep square or circular socket. Most other gates are formed of a fuller frame; many instead have hinges.
