Archaeologists in Ireland believe that a recently discovered chalice, which dates from the eighth century, was probably buried to keep from being stolen by invaders.

**The phrase to keep from being stolen is incomplete and does not indicate what might be stolen. Inserting a pronoun makes it clear that it is the chalice that might be stolen.
**keep oneself/sb from sth/doing sth // The church bells keep me from sleeping.//
**keep(oneself)from doing sth // She could hardly keep (herself) from laughing.//
