For Pictish symbol stone ('Clatt 1') from Clatt Churchyard removed to Knockespock House (NJ 5442 2408), see NJ52SW 12. See also NJ52NW 29.
Two Pictish symbol stones remain within the churchyard at Clatt.
1. A small fragment of triangular shape 15ins in length and 10 inches greatest breadth, lying in 1910 among tall grass at the base of the western gable of the church. It may be part of the stone recorded in the NSA (1845) as being about 5 feet in length and 3 feet in breadth and bearing several single and concentric circles and other figures representing barbed arrows. In 1842 it formed part of the old churchyard wall but it was not seen in 1903 by Allen. The fragment, bearing the double disc and Z-shaped rod symbol, is said by Allen to have been found shortly before 1903.
2. A larger fragment, up to 33 inches long by 14 inches broad, was found in January, 1905 at the base of the western wall of the churchyard into which it has now been built. It bears the 'elephant' symbol and the 'arch or horse-shoe' symbol.
