173:. Knox-Shaw is a bowl-shaped formation of the type that is found over much of the lunar surface. The rim is circular and the inner walls slope down to a small interior floor at the midpoint. It is not significantly eroded and has no other distinguishing features.
154:. It is largely degraded. Portions of the western and southwest rim still survive as low ridges in the surface, while the remainder is a jumble of irregular terrain with little definition. It was named after Polish astronomer

There are two small impact craters of note within the interior: Banachiewicz B is adjacent to the western rim, while the smaller, former
Banachiewicz F crater—renamed by the

as "Knox-Shaw"—lies on the eastern floor of the walled inner plain. It is located closer to the midpoint, and 12 km in circumference. It was named after
British astronomer
