> instead rerouted in an area that was close to some Bronze Age remains and urns

To be fair, in the UK (and much of Europe) bronze age remains are everywhere. But there’s only 1 fictional Dobby grave.

Like farmers will regularly dig up a bronze age thingamabob while plowing a field. For example [1], [2]. There’s a story like this every couple of years.

Since it’s a fictional grave, you can build it anywhere you want, as many times as you want.

while I do agree with this point, I want to point out that this isn't quite a fair comparison.

every single entity has (normally) a single (real) burial site. Us grouping many unknowns in one group, and comparing to a single specific one is not quite fair...

there is only one burial site of many other fictional characters including some other well known and beloved ones.
