- Remarks
- Mastaba built against north side of G 2150 near its west end. Shafts G 2132 X and Y were probably located in the chapel area of G 2132; as intrusive shafts they may possibly have been above ground level. They were probably completely cleared (but never recorded in the excavation diaries) in 1913. Only Shaft X appears on area map EG002028.
