Top of wall is good fit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gable

'top of wall' is the definition.
(architectural term)

'good fit' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'fit' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'g'+'able'='GABLE'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "screen legend" , "Triangular brickwork" , "Part of house" , "Section of wall between roof slopes" , "Triangular part of a wall supporting a ridged roof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
