How to fill in a hole

I have a derived mirrored part and I'm trying to fill in a hole so I can recreate it in a different position. This isn't as easy as it seems and it takes about 6 extrusion features to correct. Is there a simpler way to do it? i.e. filling the hole

 

I tried closing the hole up with boundary patches and then using sculpt but it doesn't follow the contours of the base part so you can see where the hole was.  

I've attached the part which is J040817. The hole I'm trying to move is indicated on the attached image.

Just tried it and it works! So simple when you know how! Thanks

If you need that hole, but just in a different location, Direct Edit > Move Faces is even simpler than filling in and recreating it.

Hi, I already tried that. Because of the geometry it wasn't allowed.
