What is recorded here

Monsie Moon stands behind the kitchen pass, butter still on his gloves, listening to the woman describe rooms she has never entered. He knows the shape of her wanting because he has wanted the same thing: a place large enough for every living person it has ever held. The Courthouse in Carlow is missing, but it is not dead. It is waiting for someone strong enough to remember the rooms into existence.
The 1307 inquisition notes that the pleas and assizes of the county were held in a hall "opposite the castle" (Mills 1914, 345). Not located. Reference: Mills, J. (ed.) 1914 Calendar of the Justiciary Rolls Ireland 1305-7, Dublin. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 August 2011
