Historic boundary stones meet criteria right ??
It depends is probably the most appropriate answer.
I have seen the term boundary stone applied to a lot of different things.
Can we see what you have in mind p,ease.
A boundary stone. I know what they look like.
The robot needs to stop rejecting it. It’s being silly now.
It can’t see anything that makes sense to it.
I can’t see any inscription they are so often weathered and difficult to photograph.
You might just have to appeal. Have you a link in supplementary to demonstrate it is a boundary stone.
I have included various links referencing the individual stones.
What’s the point. The robot rejects. No one is reading anything I put. But it’s definitely a boundary stone. I’ve submitted 100s of them many worn and unreadable but never got robot rejected. Obviously it thinks it’s just a brick wall. Oh well. I’m not gonna bother with it anyway.
This is a boundary stone that is installed in my local area. There is history associated with the boundaries going back to the 840’s. If the boundary stone is legitimate (and I can’t prove it isn’t), it’s best if you can back it up with some historical references to why that stone is there.
@elijustrying said you may have to appeal. Appeals are not judged by robots. They are read by Niantic staff.

So that is why you appeal to get it carefully read. You actually get to put specific notes for the appeal reviewer. To draw their attention some soecific points.
You have 2 appeal slots on a 15 day refresh.
It’s what many of us have to do with auto rejects.

Some submission might require multiple foto trial until you can pass AI or appeal to get them to staff
I’ve never had issues getting boundary stones accepted, but I can see the machine learning having potential issues with this. It’s a bit obstructed by the greenery and the rusty pole in front of it, so the machine learning might not be able to detect what the object is that you’re nominating.
As the others have said, you can appeal and get it looked at by a human being.
People are trying to help you, please be respectful.
I can understand you being annoyed with the system but do not take it out on wayfarers. Remember, we are not staff. We do this to try and help people.
If you have been reviewing when “the robot” is not rejecting you would understand that it does more good than bad.
That is your choice. You must do what you decide, if you are not enjoying the wayfarer experience then stepping back might be the correct thing to do.
You do have the option to step back, take a break, then return as and when you feel you want to.
Good Luck.

Meh I’m not wasting an appeal on it. Just not gonna bother with it
I’m amazed you found hundreds of proper boundary stones to submit - that must have been a lot of work and travelling! I’ve personally never found one I could verify that hasn’t already been submitted years ago.
After submitting so many, I’m sure you probably know better than any of us what makes a good submission vs a poor one. After hundreds of successful submissions, I’m sure this one won’t cause you too many issues! 
my advice is appeal with documentation
Boundary stones, mile markers, stoop stones, GR metal survey benchmarks and such are things I love finding and submitting. Whenever I come across a stone post I always look at it carefully to see if it something eligible. The face of it has indications that it was functional (similar to a gate post).
Anything that was used as a gate post is generally just a gate post, even if it looked like a stoop stone initially.
Your photo reminds me of this:
Not a gate post, but with absolutely no markings on inscriptions on it, I cannot possibly submit it as a boundary stone, since I can’t even convince myself that it is something interesting. Unless your stone has markings or inscriptions, I would be rejecting it if it came up for review.
We are going to start talking about British quirks soon, 
as the countryside is littered with little interesting things.

I can’t help it.
Possibly my favourite little interesting thing in the countryside.
Originally, these stones were a bridge (suitable for horse and carriage) on an ancient track across moorland where there is now a tiny path through the bracken barely more than a sheeps trail. The bridge was dismantled by the new landowner and a table was created using the slabs, probably 200 years ago. The table has partially collapsed, but the history behind it still grabs me.
