These three skulls (2, 3, 4) differ very widely inter se, but are all of types 

 apt to occur in the late Celtic period, when the prevailing forms are such 

 as might probably result from admixture of much of the Neolithic race with 

 a smaller proportion of the " bronze " element, while now and then pretty 

 pure survivals of the amalgamated types crop out atavistically. In this 

 instance No. 4 is scarcely distinguishable from an ordinary round barrow 

 cranium of the bronze period, though not so rugged as such skulls frequently 

 are, while No. 2 has the coffin shape which is a slight modification of the 

 pentagonal and long elliptic types common in the Neolithic people, and the 

 extreme smallness of its cranial index is due to compression.
