is a
Lunar Crater that lies in the southern part of the
Moon 's near side, to the southwest of the large
Clavius Walled Plain . It is nearly attached to the southeastern rim of the slightly larger
Kircher Crater . Almost due east lies the
Klaproth Walled Plain .
This crater has a heavily eroded outer rim that now forms an irregular rise about the relatively level interior floor. The flooded remains of a crater intrudes part way into the rim and inner wall along the south-southeastern section. Several other small craters lie along the eastern and northern rim. The narrow section of surface between Wilson and Kircher is irregular and contains a small, cup-shaped crater that joins both outer rims. The interior floor is marked by a number of tiny craterlets of various dimensions, and there is a small crater along the edge of the eastern inner wall.
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 Wilson crater.
