Eaves, eaves band
The eaves of a building with a pitched roof are the edges of the roof, where it meets the wallheads. If the roof overhangs the wallheads, the eaves are said to be 'open'. If the top course of the wall projects beyond the surface of the rest of the wall it is said to be an 'eaves (or wallhead) band'. This feature can also be described as 'corbelled eaves'.
