Ritual enclosures at Abydos
Dynasty 2   (~ 2.600 BC)

 
These brick built monuments were probably for ritual purposes and some had remnants of building inside. They had side burials outside just like the kings' tombs. In the early 1990s twelve pits with boats were found, probably contemporary. Peribsen's "small" area had remnants of a building inside. Another consrtuction (from king Qáa ?), is situated 150 m to the north (right).
