"Also this stuff about the rock art deteriorating if it's left where it is.. it's under the peat where it's been for years....."

I guess we'd have to take the word of the experts who have examined it then? Their idea is that the fire has negatively affected its condition and reburying it may do more damage.

"As the person responsible for the laser scanning of the stone it's exceptionally fragile due to the action of the fire on the moor.
If a single person were to attempt a rubbing of the stone, there's a
good chance the carved surfaces would detach and be lost forever.
