Three new obscured Milky Way clusters were detected as surface density peaks in the 2MASS point source catalog during our on-going search for hidden globular clusters and massive Arches-like star clusters .
One more cluster was discovered serendipitously during a visual inspection of the candidates .

The first deep J , H , and K _ { s } imaging of the cluster [ IBP 2002 ] CC 01 is presented .
We estimated a cluster age of \sim 1-3 Myr , distance modulus of ( m-M ) _ { 0 } =12.56 \pm 0.08 mag ( D=3.5 Kpc ) , and extinction of A _ { V } \sim 7.7 mag .
We also derived the initial mass function slope for the cluster : \Gamma = - 2.23 \pm 0.16 ( \Gamma _ { Salpeter } = - 2.35 ) .
The integration over the initial mass function yielded a total cluster mass M _ { total } \leq 1800 \pm 200 M _ { \odot } .
CC 01 appears to be a regular , not very massive star cluster , whose formation has probably been induced by the shock front from the nearby H ii region Sh 2-228 .
