Flanary Archeological Site is a landmark historic archaeological site located near Dungannon in Scott County, Virginia, United States. Located across the Clinch River from Dungannon, the site was inhabited as early as 6000 BC. It remained in periodic use by succeeding Native American cultures into the Woodland period, with occupation potentially continuing until c. AD 1600. The terminus ad quem for occupation is 1750, when Thomas Walker's expedition passed through the area and found no Indian villages.

Salvage excavations were conducted in 1977 in preparation for the construction of a bridge. These revealed that the village site, featuring posthole patterns indicating a palisade surrounding the village, lay primarily south of the bridge. A 1764 log cabin had been built near this site. [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]
