P. M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL) and L. M. Z. Hagen (***BA INSTITUTION***) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 160816A 25222 s after the LAT trigger (***Author*** et al., GCN Circ. ????). No optical afterglow consistent with the optical position (Troja et al. GCN Circ. 19809) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the initial exposures are: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white 27601 49139 953 >21.1 v 27661 27703 41 >18.2 u 25222 49056 3847 >20.8 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.25 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 160816A: Swift/UVOT Detection N.
