Avon and Somerset Police are assisting the 11 Regiment (EOD) Royal Logistics Corps at the scene just behind Argos on the Upper Bristol Road.
The possible bomb was found this morning during a routine scan of the river bed by the Environment Agency.
Army divers have been tasked with taking photographs of the object, which could have been dropped into the river 70 years ago during the Second World War.
All of the roads around the scene are still open, as is access to the tip, while the bomb disposal team investigates.
