From the MHD site:

"Located in the eastern section of Braintree, at the Rte 53 bridge over the Weymouth Fore River. The mark is a Mass DPW disk that is set in the SE concrete end cap, which has the seal missing, dated 1974, and is about 1 foot above the level of the road. The mark is 31 ft east of the center of Rte 53 and 15 ft north of a lighting pole."

The description is spot on, with two notes: Rte 53 is known as Quincy Ave here, and the seal has apparently been replaced since the description was written.

This has MHD point ID of 24534 and is only in the vertical database.
