"Why do you need to have the actual rock in a museum, what is wrong with an accurate copy? This stone has survived 3 or 4 millennia in the lovely moorland peat and this is not the first fire to effect the moor."

Its condition is at risk....but as for "a copy being as good as an original", well the art market would seem to disagree - as do I. And the guy who authorised its reburial (I presume their was no democratic decision taken?) was quoted as worrying that he might one day see it for sale on eBay.

How do you know it's creator didn't make it to be viewed and admired, why should it be buried under peat?
