The NE building O this tr was v little left, [?mainly?] a long wall, the wall o the NE face o the blding, w chambers behind it; but tr cd be no doubt t this once joined up w the mudbrick & burnt brick walls found along the NE line o KPS, t cd h been the remains o a large rectangular blding complex o which the whole o the interior has disappeared. The NE wall is o burnt bricks 027x018x009 resting on a foundation o mud bricks 026x016x017: tr were 6 courses o these & then a projecting plinth. The buttresses in the wall were queer. The inner face o the wall had suffered v much & cd not always be found, but some o the chambers along it were fairly well preserved: in one tr was a higher-level brick pavement, rough, in the others no floor. No objects were found in the rooms. The SE end o the range seems to h been built separately but was joined up later by a poor brick wall w no mud brick founds: This end contained only 1 room (w 2 drains in it) & the ruins o a second in wch were the remains o a brick tomb: here tr were found masses o tablets o all dates(?) & lumps of clay, (all in bad condition) probably a dump when the old tablets were being kneaded up for re-use: these were collected but made a v[ery] poor show. Against the outside o SW wall tr were 2 drains, tr tops flush w the existing brickwork, w pottery packing o IIIrd Dynasty type.
