G 2362, G 2364, G 2365 [and G 2366] appear to have been built leaving niches of G 2360 accessible. G 2363 built later.

G 2360 is a filled mastaba of singular construction. The stone retaining wall (a) was filled to about half its height. The upper half was strengthened by rubble walls (b) before the upper half was filled. Note the rectangular projections of the rubble wall opposite the offering niches S N and N N above.
