Wikipedia
crow step
A stepped gable, crow-stepped gable, or corbie step is a stairstep type of design at the top of the triangular gable-end of a building. The top of the parapet wall projects above the roofline and the top of the brick or stone wall is stacked in a step pattern above the roof as a decoration and as a convenient way to finish the brick courses. A stepped parapet may appear on building facades with or without gable ends, and even upon a false front.

crow step
Crow step is an architectural feature popular in Dutch and Scottish structures in which the roof steps progressively upward, usually seen in gable end walls. It's also known as corbie step, corbel step, or stepping gable. The design resembles the distinct walking or hopping movement of a crow, hence its name. This style is particularly prominent in medieval architecture.
