A large number of recently detected TeV sources are still unidentified, although the attempts have been made recently to find their X-ray counterparts. For several of these extended TeV sources, young pulsars have been proposed as counterparts, although the pulsars are offset by 10-15 arcmin from the center of the TeV emission. The HESS source J1834-087 coincides with the shell SNR G23.3-0.3, which was proposed as its X-ray counterpart. However, we have recently detected a pulsar candidate and an elongated tail-like structure, possibly a PWN, at the SNR center. We argue that this PWN is a more likely HESS counterpart than the SNR shell. We propose a follow-up observation to confirm this identification.
