G 7560 Y: Removed last of plug block. Room is full of debris, as pit Z but no sarcophagus is visible. From the construction of the tunnel it appears that it was made for appearance only, as the roof blocks are scarcely held by the east side at all, and rested partly on the plug blocks - which therefore seem to have put in first and the tunnel built round them and packed outside with rubble.

(3) G 7565
Clearing debris west of G 7565, and walls of late graves.
G 7565 A: Removed door blockings. Room full of sandy debris.

(4) G 7567
G 7567 B: In room. Clearing debris of sand, potsherds and bone fragments.
