Observations in the radio-continuum and H I emission, at 1420 MHz, in the direction of the soft X-ray source H 1538-32, proposed as a possible supernova remnant by Riegler et al. (1980), are reported. The observational results provide further support to Riegler et al.'s contention. The radio-continuum emission is distributed around H 1538-32 forming an elliptical shell with an equivalent angular radius of 2.6 deg. A number of discrete sources have been detected immersed into the radio shell. The neutral gas associated with H 1538-32 shows the dynamical effects of an expanding shock front interacting with a cloudy surrounding medium. An inter-cloud preshock density of about 0.02/cu cm, an initial energy of about 4 x 10 to the 50th ergs, an age of 20,000 yr, and a distance of about 950 pc have been estimated. The H I features associated to this supernova remnant have no connection with the extended H I ring noticed by Riegler et al.
