Colour-magnitude diagrams are presented for the rst time, of the faint southern star cluster UKS 2, which was for a long time reported as a globular cluster candidate. The V vs. B V diagrams indicate that UKS 2 is an open cluster with age comparable to that of the Hyades. It has a reddening of E(B V )=0 :40 and is located at a distance from the Sun of d 7 kpc. The cluster is located outside the solar radius at galactocentric dis- tance projected on the plane rGC 11 kpc, and a height z 370 pc.
