Early middle-neolithic burial grounds of the "Passy" type identified by aerial survey, in the community of Mathieu, to the north of Caen.
Identified by Billard and Chancerel, 1985-1995, as "Les debuts du gigantisme funeraire", this is one of 7 sites of "grouped necropoles of type Passy" which have been identified around Caen. Those at Rots and Fleury have been the objects of evaluation digs as protective archaeology.
