It is centered at 9.7° North Latitude, 359.1° West Longitude and is approximately 201 kilometers long. Based on limb profiles of Voyager 2 images, Daryabar Fossa was determined to be a 400-meter deep and 4 kilometers wide (wikipedia entry)

A fossa is a long, narrow, shallow depression. On Enceladus they are named after people and places from Burton's Arabian Nights.
