Limestone debris, rubble, stones and drift papers. In shaft on south are four cuts in rock running to south about 15 centimeters. Perhaps they were going to cut the chamber above but afterwards left it and cut it below. Chamber. On south. Cut in rock. No blocking. In the floor of the chamber is a cut in rock running underneath the coffin, on south, also another cutting in the southeast corner, which is full red debris and rubble. It is not yet known if it is broken into another chamber or not. In the chamber is a north-south coffin with lid (but not in place). Found in chamber debris: lid of limestone canopic jar, two plaster jar stoppers (one small and the second big). Drawing of shaft.
