An extended radio source near pulsar PSR 1930+22 has been detected. Integrated flux densities of 2.27 + or - 0.2 Jy at 1420 MHz and of 2.02 + or - 0.2 Jy at 2295 MHz are obtained, implying a spectral index -0.24 + or - 0.35. Considering this radio source as a supernova remnant, a distance of about 5.5 kpc and an age of about 40,000 years are deduced from the Milne's (1979) 1 GHz surface brightness-diameter calibration. These values agree very well with the distance of about 6.5 kpc inferred for PSR 1930+22 from its dispersion measure and with its characteristic age of 39,000 years. These facts indicate that this source (G57.1+1.7) may be a supernova remnant associated with the pulsar.
