The aim of this paper is to quantitatively testify the 'small-scale sequential star formation' hypothesis in and around bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). As a continuation of the recent attempt by Ogura et al. (2007PASJ...59..199O), we have carried out BVIc photometry of four more BRC aggregates along with deeper re-observations of two previously observed BRCs. Again, quantitative age gradients are found in almost all the BRCs studied in the present work. Archival Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera data also support this result.
