Observations made with the University of Durham Mark 6 atmospheric Cerenkov telescope confirm that PSR B1706-44 is a very high energy gamma-ray emitter. There is no indication from our dataset that the very high energy gamma-rays are pulsed, in contrast to the findings at < 20 GeV, which indicate that more than 80% of the flux is pulsed. The flux at E > 300 GeV is estimated to be (3.9 +/- 0.7 (statistical)) x 10^-11 cm^-2 s^-1.
