Could be anything from a script that creates them to a script to report on them.

Can you provide some additional information?
Rollback Script in other terms would mean rollback steps, for suppose you are deploying/delivering a project on production environment

Incase the deliverable or deployment is a failure in such a case, there will be some plan to roll back such changes, in such event we will prepare rollback scripts..!!
AKA a "backout script".  Assuming that the install/upgrade steps are likewise documented, the backout dictates how to restore the environment to its pre-change image.  If a column datatype is modified, there must be a corresponding step to change it back.

It's never enough to just rely upon a "backup restore".  The installation, and the backout scripts, should be so specific that they could be followed by someone else in the author's absence.
