We present an analysis of multi-wavelength observations of the dark globuleDC\,314.8--5.1, using data from the Gaia optical, 2MASS near-infrared, and WISEmid-infrared surveys, dedicated imaging with the Spitzer Space Telescope, andX-ray data obtained with the Swift-XRT Telescope (XRT). The main goal was toidentify possible pre-main sequence stars (PMSs) and young stellar objects(YSOs) associated with the globule. For this, we studied the infrared colors ofall point sources within the boundaries of the cloud. After removing sourceswith non-stellar spectra, we investigated the Gaia parallaxes for the YSOcandidates, and found that none are physically related to DC\,314.8--5.1. Inaddition, we searched for X-ray emission from pre-main sequence stars withSwift-XRT, and found no 0.5--10\,keV emission down to a luminosity level$\lesssim 10^{31}$erg\,s$^{-1}$, typical of a PMS with mass\,$\ge 2 M_\odot$.Our detailed inspection therefore supports a very young, ``pre-stellar core''evolutionary stage for the cloud. Based on archival Planck and IRAS data, wemoreover identify the presence of hot dust, with temperatures $\gtrsim 100$\,K,in addition to the dominant dust component at 14\,K, originating with theassociated reflection nebula.
