Image: The site of the pyramid complex of khendjer. The pyramid complex that was excavated is marked with the blue marker, yet it is evident there are much more structures and possible (larger) pyramid remains south west forming this necropolis.
Image: A google maps images outlining the possible remains of more pyramids south west of the pyramid of Khendjer which was excavated by Karl Gustav Lepsius in the mid 19th century and Gustave Jéquier in 1929. No mention was made of the formations south west of this pyramid as yet.
Observation by Stijn van den Hoven on google maps: These look like more (unnamed) pyramid remains, that are not noted in the original archaeological research.
At least no mention is made on Wikipedia which only described the two small top ones in below picture. In case they are named or known, published by anyone before or excavated, please let me know. If not, I hereby have pointed them out here so further archaeological work can be done at this site.
Quote Wikipedia: “The first investigations of the pyramid of Khendjer were undertaken in the mid 19th century by Karl Richard Lepsius who included the pyramid in his list under the number XLIV. The pyramid was excavated by Gustave Jéquier from 1929 until 1931 with the excavation report published 2 years later in 1933.[3]”

Looking at the satellite images from Google, it seems clear that there are more pyramid remains visible on this site south west of the original pyramid, where there are possible two more pyramids with possible satellites extending this necropolis.
Until now the pyramid of Khedjer It is the only pyramid known to have been completed during the 13th dynasty and it is suggested here there are more architectural remains or lost pyramids at this site.
