Flagstones Enclosure is a late Neolithic interrupted ditch enclosure located on the outskirts of Dorchester, Dorset, England [1]. It derives its name from being discovered beneath the site of the demolished Flagstones House [1]. Half of the enclosure was excavated in the 1980s during construction of the Dorchester bypass; the remaining portion survives beneath the grounds of Max Gate, Thomas Hardy's house [1][2].
