A l'ouest des carrières de grès rose d'Erquy, sur la Pointe des Trois Pierres domine un ancien four à boulets constitué de grès, de poudingues et granit de Languédias et construit en 1794.
Celui-ci alimentait trois batteries disposées en contrebas et aujourd'hui complètement disparues. Ces boulets rougis étaient projetés sur les navires ennemis construits en bois à cette époque afin de les détruire par le feu.

Cette technique consistait à protéger les navires poursuivis. Si vous vous placez devant la face qui présente une grande ouverture centrale au bas du bâtiment, celle-ci présente à gauche l'ouverture du cendrier qui sert à évacuer les cendres du feu.
A droite se trouvent les ouvertures du foyer et du tirage d'air et le trou de sortie des boulets incandescents dans la gargoulette, creusée dans un socle de calvaire.
