What is a concrete object set permanently in the ground to mark a boundary corner?

In surveying, a monument is a fixed, durable object placed in the ground to identify a boundary corner. It provides a permanent physical reference that remains in place for future surveys, anchoring the boundary and the legal description to a precise spot. The other terms describe different concepts: a marker can be any sign or point and isn’t guaranteed to be permanent; a geodetic control point is about a precise network reference for mapping, not specifically a boundary corner; and a mojon is another term used in some regions for a boundary marker but doesn’t universally denote the concrete, permanent object used to mark a corner. Thus, the concrete, permanent boundary corner marker is a monument.
