In the course of following up compact methanol masers at 6.7 GHz which were found in the Torun blind survey (Szymczak et al. 2002), we discovered a ring structure in the source G23.657−00.127. This source provides interesting insights into whether methanol masers arise in rotating disks around massive stars, in their outflows, or behind shocks. By monitoring the 12.2 GHz masers, which fortunately follow the same structure, we hope to resolve the kinematics of the ring. Moreover, the symmetry of the source points to the existence of a central source. Early results on the nature of this source indicate the existence of a hyper–compact H II region.
