We report the discovery of a new SNR in the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey data. The SNR has a nearly circular shape with a diameter of about 15 arcmin. The surface brightness is rather uniform over the remnant. The observed interstellar absorption suggests a distance of about 1.8^+1.4_–0.8 kpc. The X-ray emission appears to be of thermal origin with a plasma temperature of about 107 K. The Sedov model leads to an age of only 1800 years. We find no spectral evidence of non-thermal emission in the center of the remnant. The two most likely explanations for the centrally filled structure are evaporation of shock heated clouds in the interior of the remnant or a reverse shock heating the ejecta of the SNR explosion.
