What Wikipedia says

Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon and the largest crater on the visible near side. T. W. Webb described it as "one of the grandest cavities in the Moon, though ill-placed for observation." It is "tolerably circular" and "encompassed by a wall damaged by successive explosions".
