We report Kondo-like behaviour in a quantum antidot (a submicron depleted region in a two-dimensional electron gas) in the quantum-Hall regime. When both spin branches of the lowest Landau level encircle the antidot in a magnetic field ($\sim 1$ T), extra resonances occur between extended edge states via antidot bound states when tunnelling is Coulomb blockaded. These resonances appear only in alternating Coulomb-blockaded regions, and become suppressed when the temperature or source-drain bias is raised. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, we believe that Kondo-like correlated tunnelling arises from skyrmion-type edge reconstruction. This observation demonstrates the generality of the Kondo phenomenon.
