We report the detection of a compact (˜5 arcsec; about 1800 au projected size) CO outflow from L1148-IRS. This confirms that this Spitzer source is physically associated with the nearby (?325 pc) L1148 dense core. Radiative transfer modelling suggests an internal luminosity of 0.08 to 0.13 L&sun;. This validates L1148-IRS
