XMM-Newton observations of selected fields in the SMC revealed a new SNR outside of the major star forming regions where most other SNRs are found. Radio data confirm the SNR nature of the object and the 20 cm radio image reveals an extent of about one arcmin in diameter. Most of the radio emission originates from at least 5 blobs which are about 10 arcsec in diameter. A comparison of the X-ray and radio images indicates that a similar morphology might also be present in the X-ray image, with softer emission originating from the outer radio lobes. The morphology of HFPK 334 might suggest that there is a central source associated with the SNR shell. We propose a Chandra observation to resolve the X-ray emission from the SNR to investigate the possible presence of a pulsar wind nebula.
