What is the name for the typical Irish face / skull shape?

A guy I met from Ireland at a pub was telling me that our face shapes were typical Irish, and he said a name for it, but I can't rememebr it.





Does anyone know? I have a long, thin face with high cheekbones.





Thanks

What is the name for the typical Irish face / skull shape?
Irish people tend to be 'long headed' with a skull longer than wide.This type used to be called Mediterranean and first came in with Ireland's first settlers from Iberia about 8000 years ago.You don't necessarily have to have a long face with it but high cheekbones are pretty common and the chin is often prominent but narrow (not a big wide jaw but tapering to a noticeable rounded end.)
