This marker is hidden slightly off the Summit Trail, up near the modern fire tower at around 530 feet, at Moose Hill. Someone had laid a small rock and a reflective disk next to it, perhaps to make it more noticeable.

It reads:
MASS DEPT OF PUBLIC WORKS
TRIANGULATION STATION
MOOSE HILL
1886 1936

I love these things! It was a treasure to find; I almost missed it, since it was off the main trail.
