Spanish term

techo de una sola caída

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture descripción de construcciones (guía turística)
Algunos recintos funerarios son de dos pisos con techos a dos aguas y otros con techo de una sola caída, y su construcción es de piedra asentada sobre mortero de barro.

I know (but please correct me if I'm wrong) "techo a dos aguas" is "gable roof", but what is the correct term for "techo de una sola caida"?
Thanks for your help!
Proposed translations (English)

single slope roof

Gable roof causes some debate - there are those who use it to describe a double slope roof, but other consider that the gable is the " the vertical part of the end wall of a building contained within the roof slope, usually triangular but can be any "roof" shape " http://www.trp.dundee.ac.uk/research/glossary/gable.html

Thanks Surtees!
agree Jennifer Levey : Also known as a 'single pan' roof, I believe. (Note: 'pan', not 'span' - although 'span' would make sense, too).

lean-to roof

Another option for incline roof
Peer comment(s):
neutral Jennifer Levey : A lean-to roof is usually supported by ('leans against') a wall that extends above the roof-line; it is a specific form of single-slope roof that 'may' not be exactly what the source text refers to.

single pitch roof

I believe this is probably the same as a single slope roof - or shed roof.
