The Black Gate entrance once housed a drawbridge & portcullis

BTW, the name derives not from the building's colour (obviously!), but a prominent merchant who leased apartments there in the 1600s.

When the area was neglected, the Black Gate & the Castle were divided by a Victorian railway viaduct (carrying the east coast main line). This is the view from under its arches https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/55073112395/in/photostream/lightbox/
To be fair, at that period the area was a slum and the old fortifications left to rack and ruin.

is this the Black Gate of Mordor?
... no it's a just another Martian geological formation, guarding the entrance of Neretva Vallis, captured by Perseverance from her vantage position on the slopes of the crater rim.

I hate it when this happens. It looks so promising, and then you come to, "But there is a more fundamental problem. The prose is terrible." Yet I still itch to read it 😀 ->
