We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the directionof the young high magnetic-field pulsar J1119-6127. In the resulting images weidentify a non-thermal radio shell of diameter 15', which we classify as apreviously uncatalogued young supernova remnant, G292.2-0.5. This supernovaremnant is positionally coincident with PSR J1119-6127, and we conclude thatthe two objects are physically associated. No radio emission is detected fromany pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar; our observed upperlimits are consistent with the expectation that high magnetic-field pulsarsproduce radio nebulae which fade rapidly. This system suggests a possibleexplanation for the lack of an associated radio pulsar and/or PWN in manysupernova remnants.Comment: 13 pages, 6 embedded eps figures. Accepted to Ap
