MY2226: A 12 1935 (USC&GS/NGS, Hancock, NH) - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

This station is a U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey standard bench mark disk, located in Hancock, NH. It is set in a concrete post in the immediate vicinity of the southeast corner of an abandoned railroad bed crossing and Bennington Road (NH Rt.137).

According to NGS records, this station is 'presumed destroyed', and information they have on file is limited because of this. You will also find that this station does not appear on the Geocaching Benchmark Viewer (Scaredycat Films) site. Obtaining information that is available is a little tricky, compared to a station that is 'active'. If you follow the NGS link below, enter PID MY2226, then check all the boxes below and get the datasheet.

The NHDOT still uses this mark, and consequently their datasheet has the most current description available, especially the to-reach information. However, one detail worth mentioning here is that their reference to a 'woods road' is actually the abandoned railroad bed. The complete datasheet is available at the link below.
