The pit B (see page 51) was an unfinished one descending to gravel gebel and no further. In northern end, another larger pit (A) was uncovered. East of this, remains of the offering chamber.

Back of G 5230, the railroad line is eating into the heavy bank of sand lying over a deposit of hard debris.
