This may or may not be a private site, but it appears to be a quarry.  There's a plethora of fossil varieties here such as brachiopods, corals, crinoids, bryozoans, and epibionts from the early Devonian period.  You can discover a lot more information and pictures of fossils found at this website: http://www.nashvillefossils.com/fieldtrips/parsonsfieldtrip/parsons.html
