(3) G 7154
G 7154 lies south of G 7152. The front wall is of small blocks of stone. The front of G 7154 appears another later mastaba (G 7155) of rubble. The space between was filled with rubbish and there are several plundered pits of the late period. The late pits and the modern sebbakh digging have obscured the order of the older walls and the area is not yet fully excavated.
