An abandoned gravel pit located on Snowville Road, west of the intersection of Riverview Road (Ohio State Road 9) in Brecksville, Cuyahoga County. The site had been operating from at least the 1970s to the mid 1990s for sand and gravel, but has been since reclaimed.
The site was visited by Wittine (1970) who had found small gypsum crystals.
