Scored more than

An outshot is a projection or extension from a building's main structure—a part that juts out from the primary wall line.

The term appears mainly in architectural and historical contexts, describing additions like lean-tos or protruding sections of older houses.

In Scottish usage, an outshot can also mean a recess or alcove within a room.
