We observed the field of GRB 160314A (D'Elia et al., GCN 19182) using
the 1-m telescope located at Weihai, Shandong, China. Observations
started at 11:51:15 UT on 2016-03-14 (i.e., 18.4 min after the burst) in
cloudy weather, and 4x300s R-band frames were obtained.
No optical source is detected within the XRT error circle (D'Elia et
al., GCN 19182), down to a limiting magnitude of m(R)~19.0, calibrated
with the SDSS field.
