As for me, that is a nice rendering.

Nice work! It looks like a reduced Cromagnid skull to me. Compare with an Alpinid:

Although, the Long Barrow skull is a bit more dolichocephalic and has a less prominent chin. I would venture a guess that it's a Borreby skull.

Found some errors in my OP, I did not account fully for the thickness of flesh, I am working on new versions. I'll post tomorrow.
