Kerbstone 52 is a decorated stone dating from the Neolithic, located on the outer edge of the mound of the passage grave (ME019-045----) at Newgrange, Brú na Bóinne, Co. Meath, Ireland. K52 is located on the north side of the mound, diametrically opposite the famous Kerbstone 1. The decorations were “pecked” into the stone using an implement possibly made of flint or quartz. This was done when the stone was already in situe. There are two distinct panels of decoration divided vertically by a wide groove. The motifs include a double spiral, smaller spirals, a series of lozenges picked in relief, deeply picked concentric arcs and circles, cupmarks, hollows and concentric oval shapes.
