It kind of cute. Even in modern times we create new sacred spaces, although a bit different than we were used to.
I can imagine some future archeologists wondering who this “Dobby” was that his grave was an importat site of pilgrimage. Maybe concluding it wasn’t actually a person but a local minor deity.
“who was this dobby? and how did he manage to bury himself in solid cement?”

I could imagine they would be confused that we thought he was an elf and then more confused when they can’t find the body so assume it was either removed or never existed.
They will debate on what exactly an “elf” was. Dobby was an elf, but Legolas was also an elf. At least a few articles will be written trying to reconcile the contradictory data.
