Lovell is a small lunar crater that lies across the eastern edge of the Apollo walled plain, on the far side of the Moon. It has a somewhat irregular shape, with outward bulges to the north and west. The rim is sharpe-edged, with some slight wear along the northwestern bend. The featureless inner walls slope directly down to the uneven 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 Lovell crater.
