I always thought that depictions of pteruges, the Roman skirt armor, looked kilt-like over the tunic. They were just leather strips hanging from a belt, but in some costoom pteruges, they are a single piece with relief molded strips. However, pteruges would probably have been long out of use before the Romans were in Ireland... Might be an interesting variation to try on a box pleated kilt. Just make the pleats on the outside narrower than the inside part of the box pleat, so that it has a three D effect.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
