A batholith is a very large mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms and cools deep in the Earth's crust. An igneous rock is a type of rock formed through the cooling of lava or magma.

A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock (also called plutonic rock), larger than 100 square kilometres (40 sq mi) in area, that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust.
