British Campsite

For a week following the Battle of Monmouth, the main British Army under Gen. Sir Henry Clinton spread its encampment both sides of this road while awaiting transport from Sandy Hook. They embarked for New York July 5, 1778.

Marker is on Navesink Avenue (County Route 8B) near Woodhaven Lane, on the right when traveling north.
