We present images of the supernova remnant N206 in the LMC, taken with ATCA at wavelengths of 3 and 6 cm. Based on our data and previously published flux densities, the spectral index of N206 is -0.20 +- 0.07. The 6-cm radio morphology shows a filled center. Most interesting is the discovery of a peculiar linear feature previously undetected at any wavelength. The feature lies to the east of the center of the remnant, stretching from about one-fourth to three-fourths of the remnant's radius. It is wedge-shaped, with a steady opening angle from an apex on the eastern side. The feature resembles the disturbance expected from an object moving through the material supersonically at about 800 km/s. We present arguments suggesting that the linear feature might have been produced by a low-mass star or compact object ejected from a binary system which may have led to a Type Ic supernova.
