Pointe du Souc'h necropolis, Neolithic necropolis in Plouhinec, France.

Pointe du Souc'h necropolis is a Neolithic burial ground located on the Brittany coast near Plouhinec. It contains several stone-built burial chambers arranged as distinct funerary spaces across the site.

The site was built during the Neolithic period and shows multiple construction phases from early to late stages. Excavations in the 1870s uncovered artifacts and a distinctive pottery style that takes its name from this location.

The name Souc'h comes from Breton and the site is also called the Menez Dregan necropolis, after the hamlet and the Palaeolithic cave about 100 m below. The 1870-71 finds, handed to Paul du Châtellier, are now in the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, including a round vessel known as the "Vase du Souc'h". Medieval pottery that feels greasy, called "poterie onctueuse", was also found, probably made at Plonéour-Lanvern.

The site is located on the Brittany coastline and is accessible by car. Wear weather-appropriate clothing as the location is exposed to coastal winds and changing sea conditions.

The 1870-71 dig by Alexis Grenot, a teacher from Quimper, yielded over two thousand flint flakes, including more than two hundred he called "knife flakes" for their fine workmanship. The finds went to Paul du Châtellier and are now held at the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, not on site.
