Triangular part of external walling (5)

I believe the answer is:

gable

(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "Part of side wall between roofs" , "American film star, d. 1960" , "Triangular top of side wall" , "Actor's" , "Old actor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
