A drone has been found on the roof of a demountable building in Goulburn jail in NSW.

The broken drone was found along with two packets of tobacco and a mobile phone at 9am on Sunday on the roof of a prefabricated building that had just been moved to Goulburn Correctional Centre from an external storage area, corrective services says.

The items have been handed to NSW police for further investigation.

Corrective Services says it is continuing to investigate emerging technologies to reduce security risks at the state's jails.
