It is a scholarly fact that the Celts came to New England. Not some vague sectarian myth. Little is known of what happened to them. Perhaps you are thinking that because the Pilgrims were so vulnerable here that the Celts would be also. This would be unlikely. I think the Celts knew how to handle anything. They originated in Afganisthan and Pakisthan and spread all across Europe, mostly in peaceful non-aggressive ways. They were travellers and in Western Europe became mariners. They likely travelled via Iceland, possibly Greenland and down to Eastern Canada and New England. My guess is that their culture was so similar to the Native Americans that they treated each other as Kin. The similarities are so striking, even the language somehow got intermixed. The Celts were guided by the Druids, who were Shamen/Yogi types trained in the ancient arts and probably of Vedic ancestry because of their origin in the same place the Vedas are known to have originated. They were a Vedic offshoot of some sort, and they kept to the principle of 'maintaining the knowledge'. I suspect that they naturally merged with the native peoples in North America and may have travelled back to Europe the way they came. One must not assume just because they arrived that they did not go back and forth. They were travellers and it was as natural to them as a bird's nest is to a bird.
