Re: Fire reveals moor's stone legacy

Don't expect to see it, now its been studied by the experts its been/to be reburied.

English Heritage archaeologists said the relic, which is unique in England and considered internationally significant, may show a map or landscape drawing – thought to be a first for rock art.

English Heritage took the decision to return the stone to the moor rather than put it in a museum.

"We could take that stone and put it in a glass case in a museum, but it would be just as far away from us there as it is in the ground. It's the image that's important and we've kept that."

and

"It is the image we are interested in and this would be equally inaccessible to the public if it was in a museum somewhere. I am dreading coming back one day to find it has been dug up and put on eBay!".
