In ancient European Folklore Thin place was believed to be a threshold place, a portal between this world and the next. Anomalies in the landscape were indicative of possible portals into other worlds. Archaeological traces can still be found in places “once imagined or believed to possess some kind of magical or sacred presence” (Healy: 2015:1)
