Rashi, on Neh 3:1

“Then Eliasib the high priest arose, and his brethren the priests, and they built the flock gate: they sanctified it, and set up the doors thereof, even unto the tower of a hundred cubits they sanctified it unto the tower of Hananeel.”

“the Sheep Gate Such was the name of the gate. they hallowed it that gate with the sanctity of the city. its doors i.e., of the gate. and until the Tower of the Hundred Such was the name of the tower.”
