The Smerwick Group is a Devonian lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in the Dingle peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland. The name is derived from the village of Smerwick (Irish: Ard na Caithne) where the strata are exposed in coastal sections on either side of Smerwick Harbour, a deep bay on the peninsula's northwest coast.Higgs, K. and Williams, B. 2018 Geology of the Dingle Peninsula (guide and map) Geological Survey Ireland
