I've visited this site a few times now and it's pretty remarkable. I've started a discussion about it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/britishcelts/

There is a superficial resemblance to the carved heads in niches at Entremont (Bouches-du-Rhone). Stylistically, the heads are quite different from so-called "Celtic" heads. The more grotesque style of the Tarreneusant skulls seems akin to medieval death heads.

At a pinch, they could be Iron Age Romano British (not fictitious "British Celts" please!)
