We present a velocity map of the young oxygen-rich supernova remnant (1E0102.2–7219) in the Small Magellanic Cloud, obtained with the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The velocity structure is complex, and implies a high degree of asymmetry during the Type II supernova explosion. Our data can be modelled geometrically in terms of a severely distorted ring of oxygen-rich ejecta. This result, together with the evidence for expanding rings in similar remnants, suggests non-spherical ejection to be an intrinsic characteristic of Type II supernovae. We have also obtained two-dimensional spectroscopy of the diffuse halo of emission which partially surrounds 1E0102.2–7219. The halo exhibits the high excitation line of HeII λ4686, and is either a fossil HII region created by a UV flash accompanying the supernova, or alternately, is being excited by intense UV radiation from the remnant itself. It is the first clear association of a high excitation region with a supernova remnant.
