The negative Bouguer anomalies (i.e., mass deficiencies) associated with four young lunar craters are analyzed. Model calculations based on generalizations made from studies of terrestrial impact structures suggest that the major contribution to the Bouguer anomaly for these lunar craters is due to a lens of brecciated material confined within the present crater rim crest and extending vertically to at least a depth of one-third the crater rim diameter. Calculations also reveal a systematic variation in the magnitude of the mass deficiencies with the cube of the crater diameter.
