Short answer: we don't know. Most of our information pertains to the Second Temple rather than to the First.

The Talmud (Mishna, Middoth ch.1) lists the gates in the Second Temple:

A) The five gates of the Temple Mount:

the two Huldah gates to the south

the Kiponos gate to the west

the Tadi gate to the north

the Shushan gate to the east

B) The seven gates of the Temple courtyard:

the kindling-gate to the south

the sacrifice-gate to the south

the water-gate to the south

the gate of Nicanor to the east

the gate of the flame ("spark") to the north

the sacrifice-gate to the north

the gate of the hearth-chamber to the north

Note that within the Temple complex there were many structures, so that there were entranceways besides those listed here. See also the attached Related Link.
