The first in-beam test of the AGATA prototype triple cluster detector was carried out in the late summer 2005 at the Tandem laboratory of IKP Köln, Germany. A (d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics was performed, using a 48Ti beam at an energy of 100 MeV, impinging on a deuterated titanium target. The preliminary results from the analysis of the experimental data, compared with the predictions of Monte Carlo simulations, give an estimation of the position sensitivity of these detectors of 6 mm FWHM for a 1382 keV \gamma -ray.
