Analysis of All-Sky Monitor observations of Cir X-1 (3U1516-56) over the period October 1975 - April 1976 revealed a well-defined modulation of the 3-6 keV flux at a period of 16.585 + or - 0.01. The light-curve is characterized by an abrupt drop in emission occurring on a timescale of 0.07, with epoch JD 2,442,877.181 + or - 0.07. No clear correspondingly sharp increase in emission is observed during the cycle, so that a noneclipse origin for this effect cannot be ruled out.
