In Gaul before the invasions of Caesar several tribes used the pentacle in association with a stylized bird (possibly a wren) on the reverses on a long series of issues.
Even if this is so, what evidence exists that Celtic religious practices ever incorporated the penatcle in any way. Regardless, it appears in Wicca only because Gardner appropriated it directly from numerous European cermonial magicians, not from ancient Celtic sources.
