We study an S = 1/2 Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with first and second neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange (J(1)-J(2) model), employing exact diagonalization in both the S-z = 0 basis and nearest neighbor singlet valence bond (NNVB) basis. We find that for 0.2 < J(2)/J(1) < 0.3, the NNVB basis gives a proper description of the ground state in comparison with the exact results. By analyzing the dimer-dimer as well as the plaquette-plaquette correlations and also defining appropriate structure factors, we investigate possible symmetry breaking states as the candidates for the ground state in the frustrated region. We provide a body of evidence in favor of plaquette valence bond ordering for 0.2 < J(2)/J(1) < 0.3. By further increasing the ratio J(2)/J(1), this state undergoes a transition to the staggered dimerized state.
