Here excavation has laid bare the width of the wall east and north of room III in G 7510 exterior chapel. A large complex of pits and brick mastabas has been exposed to the north of this chapel, a sketch plan of which will be found on page 234.

G 7511 is a stone mastaba laid askew on the eastern wall of room II. It has one pit A cut in the rock. This is now being completely cleared. It contains clear sand and the depth of 8 meters has been reached. Chamber on west open.

G 7512 is a large crude brick mastaba laid north-south parallel to and near the face of G 7510. It has an interior chapel with a niche and at least two limestone stelae (?? Dynasty 5) behind which is a row of at least five pits (B, C, D, F, G). An intrusive pit X has been sunk at a late date [Ptolemaic-Roman] opposite to and blocking the door. G 7510 P also breaks through this mastaba.
