Description
the pyramid of one of Teti's other wifes, Khuit, was though to be a mastaba. , in 1995, Dr. Hawass excavated the remains once more and confirmed that it was indeed a small pyramid.  Its investigation is is still ongoing. Her pyramid sits just next to that of Ipu I's north of Teti's complex.

The mortuary temple sits in front of the east wall of the pyramid.  Little of this apparently has been excavated, but the previously excavated offering hall has the usual false door and altar. Offering bearers decorated the walls.

Evidence of the solidly constructed underground compartments of the pyramid, along with a pink granite sarcophagus, has led Hawass to believe that Queen Khuit, like Iput I, had a significant status. 

The pyramid's original entrance was on the north side of the pyramid in the floor of the courtyard.  It accessed a descending corridor leading to a burial chamber and east of it, a storage room.  The burial chamber sits beneath the vertical axis of the pyramid.
