We investigate the central moments of (regular) hexagons and derive accordingly a discrete approximation to definite integrals on hexagons. The seven-point cubature rule makes use of interior and neighbor center nodes, and is of fourth order by construction. The result is expected to be useful in two-dimensional (open-field) applications of integral equations or image processing.
