He also regarded the fragment of a skull obtained in a short cist at Mount 

 Stewart as probably brachycephalic, though too imperfect for measurement. It 

 had a hole in the frontal which Dr Munro regarded as due to an operation for 

 trephining. The cist also contained a piece of bronze, a jet necklace, and a bowl- 

 shaped urn.
