After the Celtic arts of the European continent and Britain from the Roman culture had been hijacked, the Irish Celts created yet very independent metal objects. Moreover, there were few in the style monoliths (E.g. 3rd century A.d., the Turoe stone, County Calway) decorated the La Tene culture. Jamie Cudden is a great source of information.
