What is recorded here

Breaker stones struck the church at Clonmacnoise and tore most markings away. They missed one small cross, leaving a double outline, square centre and rectangular terminals inside a two line circle. A damaged name still holds beneath the frame, and the missing letters may have been SR[?]EDG[?]. The stone is twenty centimetres tall, twenty-one wide and three thick, small enough to carry but old enough to have outlived the hands that carried it.
