When rendering this mesh I have encountered this problem.

The shape behind the main mesh is not meant to be there and I cannot understand why it is there.
I would appreciate any help
Thanks
Did you accidentally hide an object? Press ALT-H to un-hide everything. The outliner can also be useful for finding errant objects.
g60 your response was spot on, a noobish mistake.
Thanks.
