The Belfast Telegraph quoted Serious Crime Branch Detective Chief Inspector Gillian Kearney as saying it was "too early to link these items to any particular grouping" until a detailed forensic examination was concluded.
The newspaper cited PSNI as saying the find was hidden a number of small plastic barrels buried in a wooded area.
The discovery comes a day after police found an explosive device 20 miles south of the Carnfunnock park in Belfast, and two days after a car bomb wounded a prison officer driving the vehicle.
