The het Houbenbergske II quarry is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. The underground quarry is located approximately 400 meters northwest of Groot Welsden on the Hareweg and the Sleijpeberg road. The quarry is located in the middle of the Margraten Plateau in the Sibbersloot dry valley.
