Abstract
We have discovered a small diameter molecular cloud of high density (≳ 103 cm -3) in the direction of the non-thermal shell-type source G70.68+1.20. The peak CO intensity of the molecular cloud is displaced only a few areseconds from the apparent centre of G70.68+1.20, strongly suggesting a physical relation between both objects. The kinematic distance of the molecular cloud is most likely 5.5 kpc and the diameter of G70.68+1.20 is about 0.55 pc. Its luminosity is nearly the same as that of SN 1006, suggesting that G70.68+1.20 is a very young supernova remnant expanding in a dense molecular cloud.
