A clod of earth.
Clat has two distinct senses in British regional dialect. As a noun it can mean a clod of earth or lump of clay. In another regional sense (particularly in Northern England) it refers to an irksome, tedious task — something that has to be done but is unpleasant. Both senses are dialectal and largely obsolete outside specific localities. The word's rough, abrupt sound mirrors its meaning: something clunky, unpleasant, and heavy.
