A small (natural) terrace; spec. one of a parallel series on a steep hillside.
1922H. Odum in Dan. Geol. Undersøg. IV. i. 27 The phenomenon..occurs on hill-slopes with a steep inclination, and consists in the surface being covered with a number of small terracettes or low ledges, all running parallel, horizontal and at about an equal distance from each other.1959G. H. Dury Face of Earth ii. 13 On very many steep slopes a kind of ribbed pattern appears on the surface of the creeping waste, with little steps a foot or two in height running horizontally. These steps are called terracettes. An alternative name is sheep-tracks, but this title is grossly misleading. Terracettes can be found where no sheep have ever been.1971I. G. Gass et al. Understanding Earth xiii. 182/2 Tiny terracettes can be cut into the sides of the ripples [on a beach].1974C.
