Explored and excavated from the middle of the XIX^e century, the underground of the Iron Age are one of the characteristic features of the Gallic farms of the Armorican Peninsula. Since the 1980s similar structures have been revealed in the plain of Caen and in the Bessin in Western Normandy, but also in wooded cellars. The study of more than 460 installations has made it possible to draw up a typology of underground architectures, to specify their peculiarities, their method of digging and construction, their links with the habitats that host them and consider their evolution during the Iron Age.
