is a
Lunar Impact Crater that lies near the north-northeastern limb of the
Moon , just to the south of the irregular
Seneca Crater . To the southeast is the flooded
Cannon Crater . The proximity of this crater to the limb causes it to appear foreshortened when viewed from the
Earth , but it is actually a circular formation.
This crater has a well-defined rim edge that is only slightly eroded. A small crater intrudes slightly into the southwestern rim, and another small crater lies near the south-southeastern rim. The inner wall is unusually wide in the southern half of the crater, with the narrowest section along the northern rim. There is some slumping and s formed along the inner sides, and a notable central peak near the mid-point of the interior floor.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Plutarch crater.
