Possible definitions for gabled
gable
Triangular section formed by a roof with two slopes, extending from the eaves to the ridge where the two slopes meet. It may be miniaturized over a dormer window or entranceway. If the gable end projects above the roof level to form a parapet, the edge is often trimmed to form an ornamental silhouette (e.g., curved or stepped), as in Dutch town houses of the 16th-17th cent. In Asia, gables often feature projecting roof tiles and grotesque sculptures of animals at the ridge and eaves.
