Description

Congreve lies some 100 km west from the main outer ring of the Korolev Basin -- a feature created during the Nectarian period (~ 3.92 to 3.85 bn years) like that of the crater itself. Congreve isn't quite as circular as one would expect; the eastern sector of the crater having been leveled somewhat by several impacts of note, while the western sector, through minor impacts, has left the rim intact and relatively sharp. Some of these impacts craters may, in fact, be secondaries from the Orientale Basin -- a basin of the Imbrium period (~ 3.85 to 3.15 bn years), which lies some 2500 km away south-east of Congreve.
