Periglacially-derived bedrock disturbances can be observed in many lowland areas of past permafrost in both weak and strong rock. Both large-scale landforms and small-scale structures are left as a legacy of these freeze–thaw dominated environments in this periglacial landsystem. The nature of these disturbances can present highly variable ground conditions that present geohazards and geotechnical challenges for any construction works undertaken within them
