Triangular roofing feature (5)

I believe the answer is:

gable

(Other definitions for gable that I've seen before include "US actor" , "American film star, d. 1960" , "Part between sloping sides of a roof" , "Triangular part of a wall supporting a ridged roof" , "Triangular upper part of a wall under a roof" .)

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