Decoration description
Some vessels have applied strips with impressions under the rim. As in the case of bunghole jars, there is evidence that these impressions were were made by the end of a cow toe bone (Hurst 1994, fig 6). A large number of this form have simple stamps on the handles very similar to those seen on Malvernian roof tiles.

Notes
These jars are very similar in size, profile and decoration to bunghole jars (form 69/08) but without feet.
Examples with handles could also be classed as single or double handled jars (MPRG 4.02.01 or 4.02.03).
