The 2-m Liverpool Telescope automatically began observing
GRB 110223A (Sakamoto et al. GCN Circ. 11753) on February 23,
20:59:47 UT, 2.8 minutes from the GRB trigger time with the
SDSS filters riz.
Within the UVOT-enhanced XRT error circle (Evans et al.,
GCN Circ. 11759) we do not find any source down to the following
limiting magnitudes.
Mid time from Tot Exposure Filter Limiting Magnitude
trigger (s) (s)

1920 780 r > 22.2
2320 720 i > 21.6
2620 720 z > 19

Calibration is against some nearby USNOB-1 stars (R2 and I magnitudes).
However, we note the presence of an uncatalogued source at
RA = 23:03:20.31,
Dec = +87:33:29.3 (J2000),
lying 3.4" from the XRT centre with the following magnitudes:
r = 21.6 +- 0.1
i = 20.9 +- 0.1
This source does not exhibit any fading during the observations.
