At our local kickoff we took a picture of it, and it looked like it was simply a piece of angle stock that was mounted prior to the portcullis; this is important when designing something to go under the portcullis since it's not simply a gap to the floor.
If you look at page 217 of the field element drawing, you will see the angle shown. It is item 3 on the BOM, described as 1.5" steel angle, .125 wall. On page 219 it is detailed as 50" long, 1" X 1" (not 1.5 as shown on 217).
