We analyse the latitude distribution of star-spots on the rapidly rotating G dwarf He 699. An image was reconstructed from data taken with the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma on 2000 October 08. The predominant magnetic field structure is a decentred polar spot at high latitude, with smaller low latitude features also present. This result was verified by independent reconstructions using even numbered and odd numbered spectra. This work confirms and extends that of Barnes et al.,(2001,MNRAS,326,1057) and provides further evidence that there is a correlation between the presence of low latitude features and the amplitude of the photometric lightcurve. It is also a further step in the search for activity cycles on young G dwarfs.
