Find directories that contains more than n matches of a certain filename

I need to construct a command that finds directories which contains more than n matches of a certain filename.

E.g. I have many directories at different locations and want to find all directories that has 2 or more .dat-files.

I thought of using find and maybe the exec parameter to issue an ls|wc -l, but that would just return the number of files, not the directory itself (that i need).

Any suggestions?
