We have analysed the ground data from GRB 050819 (BAT Trigger #151131). We 
find a previously uncatalogued, fading X-ray source at the following 
coordinates:

RA(J2000):  23:55:01.2
Dec(J2000): 24:51:36.5

with a uncertainty of 8 arcseconds radius (90% containment). This position 
is 69 arcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 3826.
