5 meters is large ;-)
a monument can be a building, but it can also be something else.

IMHO it also depends on context, if you are in a monumental setting with
everything huge, a 5 meter stone cross might be just a small insignificant
part of it, and could eventually be considered a memorial by the mapper, if
instead this is an isolated feature I would be more inclined to map it as
monument.

Cheers,
