Time-resolved Hα spectra are presented of the recently discovered, rapidly rotating young field star HD 197890. The observations contain rapid absorption and emission transients that cross the rotationally broadened Hα profile from blue to red on time-scales of order 1 h. The behaviour of the absorption transients is consistent with models proposed for another rapidly rotating field star, AB Dor, in which cool clouds of material are trapped in corotating closed magnetic structures above the surface of the star and scatter chromospheric Hα photons out of the line of sight. Measurements of the radial acceleration of these clouds indicate that they are positioned at about or outside the Keplerian corotation radius
