Abstract:		 In 2014 an archaeological field evaluation was carried out on land called Hillside, lying to the north of Hawthorn Rise, Tibberton, Worcestershire in respect of a planning application for residential development of the site. The fieldwork has clearly established that the application site lies within the area of a Late Iron Age settlement. Excavation has revealed what appears to be two parallel enclosure ditches (approx. 6m apart) which appear to align with two further features about 9m apart lying between 20-30m to the south-west. One of these ditches, lying slightly higher up the slope was noticeably narrower and shallower. This had an upper, isolated and much darker 'sausage-shaped' fill aligned along its length for about 6m. Situated within edge of this deposit was an almost complete pot which appears to have been carefully laid upright indicating deliberate deposition. The pollen evidence, although small-scale, has shown that a meadow-type landscape existed in close proximity to the site and that honey might have been used within the pot prior to its discard. Understanding pollen evidence from in situ pots is a little researched field in archaeology and Tibberton has now shown that the potentially useful information that can be gained by this approach. The ceramic assemblage recovered from the excavation is particularly significant, so far only a handful of sites and relatively little Iron Age material of note have been excavated in a lowland rural setting around Droitwich, and generally across Worcestershire. It is also very unusual to encounter a site where the chief phase is so tightly dated to one part of the Iron Age, and such sites are, potentially, the most valuable of all for defining a datable framework for finds. The presence of large well-preserved sherds including diagnostic rims at Tibberton, makes this assemblage especially important.
