Capping on topmost part of the roof: a/ Plain - Finished flush to the surface of the roof with minimal decoration. b/ Decorated - Crossed or herring bone pattern pieces c/ Straight Cut Block ridge 3" - 4" (100 - 200 mm) thick cut straight line below bottom ligger. d/ Ornamental Cut Block Bottom edge of the ridge cut shaped to the desired pattern. Ridge Yealm A yealm of ridging material without pronounced taper at either end forming the topmost part of the ridge. Covering of supple straw or sedge grass, laid along apex of roof to bind and protect the main thatch. Other types include wrap-over, butt up, knuckle, rope, flush, straight cut and patterned. Patterns include dragons' teeth, diamond, scalloped, clubbed, herring-bone and crossed

The horizontal line at the top of opposing sloping sides of a roof running parallel with the building length.
The highest part of the roof at the meeting of the upper ends of the common rafters.
The line or top of the roof, the peak, where the roof is divided, one side from the other.
