WRW #14: Another One!

The cache, a screw-capped, camo-taped plastic pot, is hidden at the base of a mighty gnarly-barked poplar (?) tree near another redundant gate on the Dales Way.
To reach the cache location: continue west along the river from GC7EJ8Y: WRW#13: Walkers Welcome.
Again, your chosen descriptive word for the gate and, if you can, a suggested useful function (or possible explanation?) would be welcome additions to your log!
