This stone, it has been suggested, is unique in English rock art.

There are no doubt lots of stones in museums waiting to be examined by researchers, but they can be examined in the museum, under the ground they cannot.

The sculptor in question has already expressed a wish to examine the aforementioned stone - oh but he can't.

I never read the hype of EH press statements, my finger is unique.

I think you will find that this artefact has a very definate owner and that it is up to the owner ultimately what happens to it.

I can't see your logic here. I can understand from an archaeologists point of view that preservation may come secondary to research, but from my perspective and whole lot of others, preservation in situ is a very impotant thing - it preserves local heritage.
