Flagstones is a late Neolithic interrupted ditch enclosure (similar to a causewayed enclosure) in the English county of Dorset. The enclosure is formed by a ring of pits dug into the chalk bedrock, with 'causeways' between the pits. Half of the enclosure was discovered beneath the site of the demolished Flagstones House in advance of the construction of the Dorchester by-pass road. The part of the enclosure in the grounds of Flagstones House was partially excavated archaeologically, by Wessex Archaeology, and then the grounds were totally removed to make a deep cutting for the bypass at this point. The other half still exists under the grounds of Max Gate, Thomas Hardy's house.
