A large radio continuum loop of diameter was discovered at G16.5+0.7 on the Bonn 2.7 GHz and NRO 10 GHz galactic plane surveys. The loop is associated with the H II region M16, and the diameter is 60 pc at a distance of 2.8 kpc. Figure 1 shows the loop at 2.7 GHz in gray scale. The spectrum is thermal and the total H II mass is estimated at 3×103 M⊙. If the loop is due to a shell of the same diameter, the mean electron density on the shell is about 4 cm−3. The total thermal energy is about 6×1048ergs. The characteristics are summarized in Table 1.
