Abstract: Optical spectropolarimetric observations of AR UMa in a low state of activity show a very structured circular polarisation spectrum. The strongest features in the phase-averaged spectrum can be modelled with a dipole of strength Bd ~200-235 MG displaced from the centre of the star by ~5-15% of the stellar radius along the magnetic axis.
