Recent observations of HVC 132+23-211 are presented. The Westerbork telescope, using angular resolutions of 2 and 4 arcmin as well as a bandwidth of 27 km/s, reveals the existence of a filamentary structure somewhat offset from the center of the cloud. This filament, nearly parallel to the galactic plane, contains at least three H I concentrations with dimensions of about 5 arcmin. The total mass of the filament is about 7% of the total mass of the overall cloud. The central space density is estimated, and the profile halfwidth is found to be 5 km/s. It is estimated that the peak brightness temperatures of these H I concentrations are about 25 K.
