This site tells you what to do with the one you found !

http://flatworm.csl.gov.uk/gotone.htm

and the site says
"They are typically found underneath objects such as pots, logs, stones, paving, flagstones and plastic sacks and sheeting."

so I guess you could put some flat objects down and check underneath periodically.

The site's pretty informative.
