This milestone dates from c1814 and is Grade II listed. It is approximately one metre tall and set diagonally to the road, the modern A414 between Maldon to the east and Danbury to the west. It is about 100m to the east of Tom Tit Lane near to the bus shelter. The top is halved to form a flat face whereon the words Woodham Mortimer were inscribed. I could not make out any wording when I visited the site in August 2014.
This is the only surviving milestone on this road of a set placed by the parish at a cost of £7-7s.
