Roof terminolgy

I am trying to write specs for a roof replacement. Can someone tell me what the flat area at the top of this style of roof is called?

thank you


HIP roof. Small Flat center section referred to as Widows walk or watch. A platform or walk atop a roof, as on certain coastal New England houses of the 18th and early 19th centuries: often used as a lookout for incoming ships.
