Going back a bit further than you may mean, Proverbs 22:28:

“[Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.](https://biblehub.com/niv/proverbs/22.htm)”

Theological arguments aside, at least in some cases, they used rocks. Which you apparently weren’t supposed to move because, well, that’d be a big deal.
