Anne T visited on 22nd Sep 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Stopped at the Visitor Centre during our Breamish Valley Hill Fort Trail walk, to visit St. Michael's Church at Ingram.
Beautiful setting next to the river. Came across this stone quite by chance outside the Visitor Centre (now closed and The Muddy Boots Cafe).

This cup-and-ring marked rock was discovered in a quarry near Powburn and moved to Ingram, where it stands in front of Northumberland National Park visitor centre. The main motif is a well-preserved cup with two rings. Near the edge of a rock there is a smaller motif of a cup with single ring.
For more information see England's Rock Art entry for ERA-603 Powburn 1, which includes both NADRAP's and Beckensall's descriptions, photographs, a sketch of the rock and its motifs, plus photogrammetry, a VRML model and media from the Beckensall Archive.
The original Beckensall record can be found at Internet Archive: Beckensall 323 Powburn.
This rock art is classed as being 'in a museum' but is sited in front of the building.
