The method of glancing-incidence x-ray diffraction has been applied to the Au(110) reconstructed surface. The long-range structure is incommensurate with the bulk in one direction, comprising locally 2 \ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi 1 regions separated by domain walls. The atomic positions in the 2 \ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi 1 cell are determined independently of any models, and their alignment with respect to the bulk is deduced; the result is a missing-row structure with lateral pairing displacements in the second layer of 0.122\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi 0.017 \AA.
