MERLIN observations of 6.668-GHz Methanol and 6.035-GHz OH emission from the known massive star-formation region ON1 are presented. Maser components are found to lie at the southern edge of the UCHII with consistent polarization angles across the strongest features. Zeeman splitting of OH shows magnetic field strengths between +0.4 to −5.3 mG and from cross-correlation a tentative methanol magnetic field of −18mG is detected.
