D52 is a medium-sized dolmen consisting of six capstones, three of which rest on and three between the fourteen sidestones. There are also two 2 keystones and one gatestone. The location of the other gatestone is marked with a plumb line. One capstone is missing. When Van Giffen made an inventory in 1918, the dolmen was in a "completely dilapidated state". The stones scattered here and there no longer deserved the name dolmen. Under his leadership, the dolmen was thoroughly restored in 1953/54, during which most of the sidestones had to be re-erected and fixed. Nowadays, archaeologists believe that Van Giffen went too far in his restoration drive. For example, he could no longer determine the function of six stones himself and even the original number of capstones was unknown to him. Nevertheless, there is now an almost complete dolmen again. However, more the result of guesswork than of a responsible restoration.
In November 2008, three capstones were daubed with blue paint. The damage was repaired as best as possible shortly afterwards. Early April 2011 a fire was lit in the burial vault, which caused a large crack in one of the supporting stones. This will be repaired as soon as possible
