An excellent film about the Sutton Hoo burial site which, by another coincidence, I taught the kids at school some years ago.
We both suggested afterwards that, rather than filling in the area afterwards, they could have raised a building over the site to protect the remains of the hull and made it accessible to interested people as a type of museum.

But the hull is still there, presumably, and could be exposed again.
On the other hand, perhaps covering it up might better preserve what's left of it.
