Stones of Via is a post-medieval enclosure and stone setting located at the Loch of Clumly in Orkney, Scotland. The monument consists of stones arranged in an enclosure pattern, characteristic of the post-medieval period's land management practices in the islands. The site's physical remains reflect the agricultural and pastoral organisation of Orkney during this later historical phase, when the formal demarcation of land became increasingly important to island communities. As recorded in the historic environment records, the monument represents evidence of settlement patterns and resource management during the post-medieval era in northern Scotland.
