Possibly a child’s toy or a statuette from a trophy?
Or it may be a depiction of a god, like cupid or other...............

Article does not mention how old they think the figure is. What century it is from.

They do realize that the Irish have raided the British area since time immemorial?

It's known that the Irish raided Britain as the Romans withdrew - Gildas writes of the 'impudent Irish pirates' in De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, so it may be that they were raiding abandoned Roman temples and villas.
