Kinderscout Grit, name given to the coarse grits and flagstones which occur towards the base of the Millstone Grit of England (see CARBONIFEROUS SYSTEM). The rock forms the tableland of Kinderscout in the Peak country. The grit is quarried at Eyam Moor, Derwent Edge, and other places, and is used for engine-beds, foundations, and reservoir work.
