The possibly contemporary Ogham stone of Ratass stands in the ruins of the Romanesque church of Ratass, in the east of Tralee in County Kerry, Ireland. The first edition of the Ordnance Survey map shows an oval enclosure line to the east, west, and north of the church and its cemetery, indicating a Raht or an early ecclesiastical enclosure of 230 × 140 m.
The 1.45 m tall pillar-like Ogham stone with a cross-section of 0.34 × 0.2 m is made of purple sandstone. On the wide side, there is an inverted Latin cross made of double lines. The stone was found in 1975 in a 19th-century grave in the southwestern corner of the church. T. Fanning noted that the stone had been used at one time as a sharpening stone for blades. The cuts and markings on the stone resemble those found on several other stones.
