The Saint Laurence Gate is a barbican which was built in the 13th century as part of the walled fortifications of the medieval town of Drogheda in Ireland.

In the 14th century, the street and gate were renamed because they led to the hospital of Saint Laurence, which stood close to the Cord church.

[4] The structure consists of two towers, each with four floors, joined by a bridge at the top, and an entrance arch at street level.

The earliest pictures of Laurence's Gate show that there was a raised lookout platform at the top of the south tower to provide an even higher vantage point.

The depth of the basements of the houses and the Centre for Continuing Education on King Street suggest the presence of a deep trench outside the wall.
