Are you really going to get up and go and look for it even if you know where it is? If you really want to know, then you already know someone who can tell you (disallowing winding them up).

What's wrong with keeping information like this 'secret'?

It's no different to people keeping schtum about where extremely rare orchids are, or extremely rare birds are nesting, etc etc. Do you think that sort of information should be common knowledge too?

You tell me how you would decide who should know? Using what criteria?

There are plenty of archaeologists (and a sculptor) on Britarch that would like to have been able to see it for further research. I'd just like to be able to see it. And if as happens these secrets never stay secret, what happens if (as Mr Redfern fears) we see it being sold on eBay??

It now doesn't even seem very secure, let alone safe from deteriorating as is feared by some.
