Nice photo but this is not Clonmacnoise as it is an old castle.

Cromwellian troops helped the castle blend in with nature when they  blew it up. Norman ruins will not fall until nine auburn haired maidens by the name of Egan dance around it. BTW there is a nice book out on the site by Brian O'Carroll and Bill Felton.

It's called Clonmacnoise Castle, Michael, and it's directly adjacent to all the main preserved ruins of Clonmacnoise, so I'd say "Clonmacnoise" is an appropriate title for this photo.
