My main gripe is that nothing I've read has convinced me re-burying the stone was the right thing to do.

A few inane quotes from an EH idiot, who also thinks that moving the Panorama stones, and thereby de-scheduling them, is the right thing to do. And views of a local who's arguement revolves around "it belongs here", with no real reasoned arguement to back it up; ie why bury this unique item but leave all the museums stuffed with things?

This smacks of the mess EH made of Seahenge, you would have hoped they'd learnt their lessons!
