As was the case with the pyramid, the South tomb was never finished either. The only part that was discovered were its foundations, part of a destroyed mastaba and a rudimentary substructure.

The entrance is located at the West side. At the end of it a simple widening contained a wooden sarcophagus, stone vases and some jewellery, all dated to the 3rd Dynasty.

The sarcophagus contained the remains of a two year old boy, so it is quite unlikely that they are the remains of Sekhemkhet himself.

The enclosure wall

An enclosure wall was begun to surround the complex. The parts that were finished and still remain today demonstrate that it would have been similar to the wall around Netjerikhet's complex. It was panelled and had extending bastions. It was, however, thinner than Djoser's and the blocks were somewhat larger.

Despite the fact that work on this complex was abandoned at a very early stage, the enclosure wall shows that during the work, it had been extended both to the South and the North.

The enclosure wall surrounding the complex, too, was  left unfinished.

A mortuary temple or a Heb-Sed court have not been discovered (yet). It is possible that the building of these structures had not yet started when Sekhemkhet died.
