The site is at the top of what is now the Muckleborough collection, they are using it as storage/ workshops etc for the museum, these parts however are not in the museum.

Some history (from Wikipedia)
During the Second World War, Weybourne Camp was a highly secret site and was an Anti-Aircraft Artillery range. This, along with a complementary camp at Stiffkey, represented the main live firing training ranges for ACK-ACK Command in World War II. Here the Norfolk coastline became a controlled zone by the British forces. This controlled zone extended 10 km deep into the North Sea around Norfolk. Weybourne Camp was a vital part of this zone.

I also went to the gun emplacements but my camera battery died and i wasnt going to walk another few miles to get another on a hot day!
