We present a new multi-wavelength study of supernova remnant (SNR) B0513-692 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The remnant also has a strong, superposed, essentially unresolved, but unrelated radio source at its north-western edge, J051324-691049. This is identified as a likely compact HII region based on related optical imaging and spectroscopy. We use the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 4790 and 8640 MHz to determine the large scale morphology, spectral index and polarization characteristics of B0513-692 for the first time. We detect a strongly polarized region (49%) in the remnant's southern edge. Interestingly we also detect a small (~40 arcsec) moderately bright, but distinct optical, circular shell in our Halpha imagery which is adjacent to the compact HII region and just within the borders of the NE edge of B0513-692. We suggest this is a separate new SNR candidate based on its apparently distinct character in terms of optical morphology in 3 imaged emission lines and indicative SNR optical spectroscopy (including enhanced optical [SII] emission relative to Halpha).
