origin are also notably rare in this region, (for example there are two
vessels only from two large pit groups of late second- to mid
third-century date at Brenley Corner, comprising some 4 per cent of
contemporary jars), and it would seem unlikely that the plain jars of west
Kent were imported, if BB2 jars were not. The sandy wares are usually
somewhat finer than Canterbury wares, although there is some overlap. The
bead-rim jars (no. 90 here) and decorated necked bowls (Whiting et al.
1931, several examples including nos. 420, 512, and 576) provide a
typological link with west Kent wares, but the region was

on the fringe of the main distribution area for the late second to mid-third
century BB2 and burnished wares of west Kent (Figs. 45—48). BB2
nevertheless comprises 22 per cent of pottery from one of the Brenley Corner
pits referred to above; the other contained less than 2 per cent BB2, but
also included a large first- to mid second-century residual element. The
former pit included a few sherds of late first to second century Canterbury
grey and oxidised wares, but roll-rim necked jars with angular or rounded
rims comprised some 30 per cent, and BB2 plain dishes 27 per cent, of
