The tumulus was built during the fifth millennium BC.
The Saint-Michel tumulus consists of a mound of earth and stones 125 meters long, 50 meters wide and 10 meters high. Explored in 1862, researchers found there a central vault containing a fairly prestigious funerary furniture : axes, pearls , flint tools and sillimanite.
It is the subject of a classification as
"Monument historique" (National heritage site ) since 1889.
