As part of the Palomar Transient Factory, we have obtained pre-outburst optical (R-band) imaging of the field of the high-energy transient source GRB 110328A / Swift J164449.3+573451 (GCN #11823,GCN #11824) with the Palomar 48-inch Oschin Schmidt telescope over the time period from 2009 May to 2010 October. In a stacked frame of all available data, we find a faint, unresolved source at location (J2000.0): RA: 16:44:49.97 Dec: +57:34:59.7 The astrometric uncertainty associated with this position is ~ 150 mas in each coordinate (based on the USNO-B1 catalog).
