Isesi-ankh was buried in mastaba D8, north of the Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara.
The mastaba was first investigated in the 19th century by Auguste Mariette, and again briefly during the excavation season 1907–1908 of James Quibell.
More extensive work took place under the direction of Said Amer El-Fikey in 1983, then director of the archaeological zone of Saqqarah.
The excavations yielded two demotic papyri.
A decade later, in 1994, the remaining decorations of the mastaba were studied under the direction of Yvonne Harpur, Field Director of the Oxford Expedition to Egypt.
The structure is now in a ruined state and many of its reliefs and decorations are lost.

The mastaba comprised a recessed facade with two columns.
The architrave above the entrance and the two columns were inscribed with Isesi-ankh's titles, which are now damaged.
At the back of the facade, a corridor leads to two rooms, one of which further leads to a cult chapel in the back, where the false door stela of Isesi-ankh was located.
This false door, made of poor-quality marl, bears inscriptions that are better preserved than on the facade.
These as well as the other reliefs on the false door were originally painted with a green enamel and the walls of the tomb were adorned with paintings on plaster, much of which have now disappeared although the green coloring has persisted.
