The world's largest man-made monument is the Great Wall of China, which is, in fact, a series of great walls. It was built at various stages between the 6th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire. Including all the sections, the Great Wall extends for over 6,700 km in total.

I believe the largest man made moving object is a oil tanker called the Jahre Viking which has a dead weight of 564,763 tons and is so big it can't navigate through the English Channel, it carries a cargo close to its own weight. The longest man made moving object was train making a one off train journey in Australia consisting of 8 AC6000 locomotives pulled 682 wagons loaded with iron ore, the train weighed circa 100,000 ton and the cargo weighed about 80% of this weight. The train was 4.6 miles long
The largest manmade moving object on the earth is a oil and gas seismic survey vessel called the Ramform Viking and is produced by PetroGEO Services (PGS). And it collects more than 1.12 Terabytes of seismic survey data per day.
The surveyor with its 10 streamers at 120 m separation is more than a kilometer wide and more than 8 km long covering a surface area of 8.75 km2 at any time. Moving at a speed of 4.3 knots it is covering a total surface area of 215 km2 per day in full production. It represents the largest moving object on the face of the earth, bigger than any seismic spread ever deployed and bigger than anything else moving on land or at sea.

The largest man made object depends on how one defines "largest".
Here are a few to choose from:
Heaviest: Pyramid of Khafre at Giza in Egypt.
(one pyramid has one particular stone that's an estimated 400 tonnes)
Longest:All paved roads around the world.
(The U.S. alone has 6,545,839 miles of paved roadways)
Tallest:Theskyscraper Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
(2,722 feet)
As of 2021, the tallest man-made structure in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It stands at 828 meters (2,717 feet) tall.
To say that a surveying vessel with its streamers is the largest man-made and movable object made on the area covered by the streamers is silly at best. You might as well count an aircraft carrier with its extended radar coverage. The largest man-made movable object that I am aware of is the Troll A platform installed on the Troll oilfield in the North Sea. When it was towed out to sea it had a displacement of nearly 1 million tons and and a draft of about 700 ft. I.e the displacement of the Troll A was nearly twice that of the larges oil tankers. The towage out to sea required eight of the largest tugs in the world and took several days.
