Sansovet is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Valkenburg in the southern part of the Biebosch slope forest on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. In situ, the plateau plunges steeply for a number of meters. The quarry itself is located on the edge of the forest near a sunken road (IJzeren Koeweg) that is cut into the plateau from the Sibbergrubbe.
About 90 meters to the northwest is the Groeve van de Verdwenen Honden, about 65 meters to the west are the Ingvarsputje and Canadasbergske quarries, about 70 meters to the southwest is the Heiberg Quarry and just south of Sansovet is the Sint-Jansboschheide Quarry.
From the 17th to the 19th century, the quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone.
The quarry has two entrances, a northern and southern entrance. The quarry has an area of 3556 square meters and a corridor length of approximately 124 meters.
