Great Gate

The Great Gate (or the Mulgore Gates)Siegebreaker (quest) is a tauren fortification constructed at the entrance to their homeland of Mulgore, separating it from the Southern Barrens in response to the Alliance's destruction of the nearby Camp Taurajo, as well as to shelter the tribes in the wake of the Cataclysm.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: Kalimdor, pg. 82
The Northwatch forces have setup several siege weapons near the gate in order to destroy it, but they were repelled by the tauren of Vendetta Point and Warlord Bloodhilt, an orcish general sent by Garrosh Hellscream.
After the death of Deathwing, Northwatch soldiers were still stationed at the other side of the gate. Tauren and Darkspear tribe trolls led by Vol'jin and a reluctant Baine attacked the humans and dwarves there. After this, the Horde army marched east, passing through the Ruins of Taurajo and the Fields of Blood towards Northwatch Hold.Jaina Proudmoore: Tides of War, chapter 6
During the Fourth War, the Alliance besieged the gate.Great Gate of Mulgore (Horde)
According to Zekhan's report after the war, the gate still stands and protects tauren tribes from quilboar moving into Mulgore and the Alliance's many needling strikes.
