We have performed the neutron scattering study of antiferromagnet U$$_{2}$$Pt$$_{6}$$Al$$_{15}$$ with the honeycomb lattice to determine the magnetic structure. U$$_{2}$$Pt$$_{6}$$Al$$_{15}$$ exhibits two phase transitions at $$T_{rm m1}$$ = 9 K and $$T_{rm m2}$$ = 26 K. In phase I at $$T_{rm m1}$$ $$<$$ $$T$$ $$<$$ $$T_{rm m2}$$, the magnetic reflections described by a propagation vector $$kappa$$$$_{rm I}$$ = (1/3, 0, 0) were observed. In phase II at $$T$$ $$<$$ $$T_{rm m1}$$, magnetic reflections of $$kappa$$$$_{rm I}$$ = (1/3, 0, 0) and $$kappa$$$$_{rm II}$$ = (1/2, 0, 0) were observed and the magnetic reflection intensity of $$kappa$$$$_{rm I}$$ = (1/3, 0, 0) is weak but finite. The hysteresis in the temperature dependent intensities is observed across the phase transition at $$T_{rm m1}$$, suggesting that the transition at $$T_{rm m1}$$ is of first order.
