South Lotts is a small area to the south of the river Liffey in inner city Dublin 4, one km east of Dublin City Centre, Ireland. It was created following the embankment of the River Liffey in 1711 between the city and Ringsend, thereby reclaiming the marshes as North and South Lotts. It is at the westernmost end of Ringsend, overlapping with the Grand Canal Dock area, but is generally accepted to be within Ringsend. The district originally referred to 51 reclaimed plots of land directly behind City Quay sold to the highest bidder in 1723. A detailed history of South Lotts is given in the 2008 book ''Dublin Docklands - An Urban Voyage'' by Turtle Bunbury, in the chapter "The Docklands - South Lotts & Poolbeg".〔 ==Boundaries and streets== South Lotts is bordered to the north by Ringsend Road, to the west by Barrow Street, to the east by South Lotts Road and to the south by Grand Canal Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.turtlebunbury.com/published/published_books/docklands/Ringsend%20&%20Poolbeg/pub_books_docklands_rd_slottsstreetwise.html )〕 Streets included in South Lotts are: *Barrow Street *Doris Street - Possibly named after William Doris, an Irish Member of Parliament and Chief Whip of the Irish Parliamentary Party (1910–1918). *Gerald Street - Possibly named for Samuel Beckett’s uncle Dr Gerald Beckett (1884-1950), County Wicklow Medical Officer and sometime president of Greystones Golf Club.
