This crater has been heavily damaged by subsequent impacts, leaving little more than an irregular depression in the surface. The outer rim is rounded and pock-marked by small impacts. The interior floor is a nearly featureless surface with a few tin craterlets. Faint traces of ray material from Jackson crater, some distance to the west-southwest, lie across the northern rim of Ingalls.
Satellite craters
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 Ingalls crater.
