- Research Activity
- Substructure. Shaft with a side burial chamber. Superstructure. Chapel with an eastern entrance and a western false-door, both inscribed. Only six courses of original masonry still exist with many traces of plaster. An aperture in the northern wall leads to a serdab which must have contained more than one stature.
