I am thinking of installing electric gates approx 100 mtrs away from main house. I know I need armoured cable which will run to a weatherproof junction box for the transformer and all the works, etc. Someone has suggested I may need to put in another earth rod at this location. Is this correct? Any ideas appreciated.

You may well need an earth local to gates however likely the gates themselves will provide that.
It is not simple and one has to consider type of supply and location of other buildings from same supply.
However this will be Part P notifiable and either the registered electrician or LABC will likely advise on this and it's not something you need to worry about.
