The Local Group irregular galaxy IC 1613 has remained an enigma for many years because of its apparent lack of star clusters .
We report the successful search for clusters among several of the candidate objects identified many years ago on photographic plates .
We have used a single HST WFPC2 pointing and a series of images obtained with the WIYN telescope under exceptional seeing conditions , examining a total of 23 of the previously published candidates .
All but six of these objects were found to be either asterisms or background galaxies .
Five of the six remaining candidates possibly are small , sparse clusters and the sixth , C32 , is an obvious cluster .
It is a compact , young object , with an age of less than 10 million years and a total absolute magnitude of M _ { V } = -5.78 \pm 0.16 within a radius of 13 pc .
