Tibberton, Worcestershire
Tibberton is a village in Worcestershire, England. It is located around 4 miles north-east of Worcester and less than a mile from junction 6 of the M5 motorway. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal passes just to the north of the village. A number of archeological surveys have been carried out in the modern period in anticipation of modernization projects. These investigations reveal varying degrees of human presence from the prehistoric period. In 2010 an archeological survey was carried out near Pershore Lane close to the M5, less than a mile from the center of the village. This investigation uncovered Neolithic and Bronze age activity suggesting the clearing of woodland, and timberworks that may have formed timber tracks across grasslands. Radio-carbon dating places the activity in the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age period. An excavation of Hawthorn Rise, on the northern edge of the village and near the canal, was carried out in 2017 in advance of a new housing development. ...
