Ce-based materials represent a rich playground for investigation of many exotic phenomena, such as heavy-fermion behavior, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality and so on. In this work, we explored magnetic properties of a metallic Ce-based antiferromagnet CeCoSi, which has an unusual T − P phase diagram. Cerium moments order below TN = 8.8 K, however, a very moderate hydrostatic pressure of P ≈ 1.5 GPa, stabilizes a new pressure-induced-ordered phase with significantly higher transition temperature of Tc ≈ 40 K. Motivated by these observation, we explored magnetic structure and excitation spectra of CeCoSi by means of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. We found that the cerium moments orders in a simple AFM structure with q = 0. Using the results of inelastic neutron scattering and specific heat measurements we resolved the Hamiltonian of crystalline electrical field. Furthermore, we discussed a possible influence of the hydrostatic pressure on the spectra of magnetic excitations
