Simon, I've buggered up my download of eDOB and can't get a fresh copy until the GE Community Boards are back up and running. The original DOB dataset doesn't show anything in the immediate area of Kessingland. To the south near Covehithe there is a "Suffolk square" pillobox with 8 loopholes that looks similar in plan (12' square with an entrance on the side). Further north towards Lowestoft there's the Coastal Defence Battery close to Pakefield.
But.. the priginal DOB (the only version I can access at the moment) is bloody awful for Norfolk, missing loads and full of errors. It has much improved since then, and there's a good chance that the current version of the eDOB will have this on it (whatever it is). Plan B isa visit to County Hall.. I should be able to give you the document reference of the map you'll find it on as long as it's within a couple of miles of the high tide line.
I can see on the first shot where one MG embrasure has been filled in, if you can enable Notes on your Flickrstream I'll highlight it on the photo. Giving a Where's The Path link or a OS grid reference would also be useful.

Thanks for that, I will enable notes on my Flickr. I will also find you a map reference.

My son found this gem still in place about two miles up the road from us, it is in the corner of Alby churches grave yard. There were two more actually down in our village of Aldborough, the farmer has both
standing in his yard, he even has a spigot mortar round that was fired by the home guard during a test.
