Details:
The dome, Keis π, is visible just to the right and slightly above center of this image. Per http://kiesdomes.blogspot.com/, Kies π is 13.6 km in diameter and 160 meters high with a slope of 1.3ᵒ and is considered an effusive dome. A crater pit is visible at its summit, and a west-to-east LROC Quickmap LOLA elevation chart shows that the crater pit is approximately as deep as the dome is high.
Just below Keis π lies a smooth, low-relief region which is the location of Keis2 dome, denoted by two arrows marked "K2.". It is likely an intrusive dome and is 51 km by 34 km in size. It extends from Keis A almost to Mercator, and from just below Keis π to the hills directly to the south of π. There are hints of faults or rilles coursing roughly south to north on the dome, and one rille crossing the SE boundary of the dome. Per http://kiesdomes.blogspot.com/, it is 55 meters in height with a slope of only 0.15ᵒ.
On the left lower part of the image, a small, horseshoe-appearing, crater is visible. This is the concentric crater Marth, which is located on the summit of a small dome. On the image some of the dome uplift is just visible on the lower and the right margins of Marth.
