- Remarks
- Mastaba lies along north side of Queen Khentkaus' pyramid town and just west of G 8698 (Ireru). Excavated 1931-1932 by Hassan.
- Research Activity
- Substructure. Behind each false-door lies a shaft (S 733 & S 777) that ends in a burial-chamber. Superstructure. Mostly destroyed, but its (outer) eastern wall retains two badly damaged partly-inscribed false-doors.
