We called a cattle (and horse) guard the ditch or culvert that was at the end of the driveway (if you did not want a gate, but also allowed free roam of said animals). It was rails (pipe) that ran across the drive from one Fencing to the other. Close enough to drive and not get stalled, but far enough apart that animals did not like it, would fall between the rails, etc.
Deep, depending on your physical altitude of the land. You wanted it deep enough not to let any over land flooding create an issue, but also serve a a water way (in our case of the area) back to one of the number of lakes surrounding that section.
I remember some being a couple feet deep, but then we also had culverts under the roads to help take away water too. So, the answer would be depending on the rainfall, water table of your area. That would be good to ask the county engineer's office. They have the full layout of any area rural.

How does a cattle guard work?
The bars on a Texas gate or cattle guard act as an optical illusion for the cattle. The bars make it seem that there are too big spaces for their feet to be stable on, and also the bars make it seem they will sink past their knees through the bars. The culvert dug underneath the guard increases this illusion, and so the cattle refuse to cross it.

What is a cow guard?
A cow guard, or cattle guard, is a gateless entry through a fence, used in ranches to allow vehicles to cross without having to get out to open/close the gate. There is a ditch at the entrance that is laid over with pipe and spaced where cattle will not walk over it while providing access to vehicles. The cattle guard, also called a Texas gate, is more of an optical ilusion for the cattle because they have poor depth perception and think that the spaces between the bars is a bottomless pit that they cannot get out of. Also, the spaces between the bars look wide enough that they cannot walk easily over, so that also deters them from crossing.
