It seems like one of the problem is that the place "is not a place of honor".
In modern civilization memorials and/or historically significant places are continuously safeguarded and most importantly remembered.
Yes they can be targets of attacks but they get rebuilt. That is their significance is remembered and protected. It seems like a bad idea to make a dangerous place forgettable.
So instead of hiding I propose a solution might be an extremely conspicuous stone like edifice built on top of the land with information about what is underneath etched in stone (I am assuming the land above is tolerable). Maybe even make it look nice so you know it gets protected. It could even become a cultural landmark.

Your design relies on a culture that values the remnants of other cultures to the point that they are sacred. There have been times and places where the people just wanted to re-purpose the nice building materials like the Mayan temple that was destroyed to create road gravel. Wars can break out that destroy delicate structures too, like the archaeological artifacts that were scooped up by the U.S. military to fill sand-bags during the Iraq war. Choosing huge, ugly, low-value materials for construction avoids those dangers.
