I too was puzzled by EH's decision to rebury the stone.

Though I sympathize with the sentiment that things should, as far as possible, be left where they 'belong' that is not quite the issue here. The issue is the safety and conservation of what seems to be a rather delicate and possibly unique artefact. If, by leaving the artefact in situ, it means its loss (either from natural degradation, theft or vandalisim) then the artefact should not be left there.

Perhaps it is a question of degree. Anything that is susceptible to natural degradation, theft or vandalisim is vulnerable by its very nature - but some things are more vulnerable than others.
