A lot of depiction of Celts show them as wearing tartans, but this was more of an addition by later Celtic romantics to align with their ideals of a continuity between the old celtic civilization and their current one. There may have been similar textiles though.
This kinda stuff happened all the time in the Romantic era. It's like how Vikings having horns was done by German romanticists in order to connect the Vikings to the German Bronze age cultures and thus to Germany.

For all we know it could've been like a fun roller coaster ride for them before the end

It's probably from the Germanic bronze age and not the vikings
