Swift-UVOT has performed follow-up observations of the Swift-BAT-detected burst GRB 231110A (Kennea et al. GCN 34977), collecting 2.8 ks of observations between T0+8.80 ks and T0+27.45 ks.  No source was detected in the UVOT data at the position of the X-ray source reported by Evans et al. (GCN 34986).

3-sigma upper limits (AB) using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) are:

Filter      T_start(s)      T_stop(s)      Exp(s)       Mag
V		 8893		 9216	   314.67	>19.55
B		14638		15545	   881.77	>21.00
U		26828		27450	   604.93	>21.67
W1		25992		26822	   885.58	>21.76
white		15545		15695	   147.43	>21.68

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.198 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
