Bluffton Chronicle, Bluffton, Indiana, October 3, 1894 A Giants Remains Found. Portsmouth, Ohio The skeleton of a man seven feet in height was found under an old oak on Pete Thompson's place, a few miles below this city, in Kentucky. The skeleton evidently belonged to a prehistoric race that threw up the earthworks still visible at that place and known as the "old fort. A crown of beaten sterling silver encircled the head and there were many other evidences of the princely character of the "deceased". The find is considered a great one as the skeleton's position under the tree proves that it must have been entombed many hundreds of years ago. An exploring party of archaeologists will be on the ground and the details of the discovery will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution."
The "Old Fort" described is one part of a massive earthwork complex that extended from Portsmouth, Ohio, and across the river in Kentucky.
A Theological, Biblical, and Ecclesiastical Dictionary, 1830 A giant skeleton at Stonehenge near Salisbury-A French paper on giants gives a list of several, whereof the biggest is one found near Salisbury and the reference is to a French paper, 1719. Its length was 9 ft. 4 in. English, which is the largest human stature of which I ever heard. At Salisbury I remember in childhood a mound in a field, north of St. Edmund's Churchyard, called the "giant's grave." Is there any account of this skeleton and where it is kept?-as a skeleton of that size was surely worth preservation. Another large skeleton was unearthed near Stonehen get, that story is here https://nephilimgiantsinnorthamerica.blogspot.com/2020/05/large-human-remains-found-in-stone-tomb.html
Port Dover Ontario, August 10, 1921 While excavating here today, builders uncovered a skeleton, evidently of a powerful man of long ago. Most of the skeleton crumbled to dust. From what was salvaged of the skull, with its massive jaws and teeth, it is certain that there were men of might in those days, possibly eight feet in height. As the skeleton was found in the huddled position used by the Atawandrons when interring their dead, it is presumed that it is that of some Indian warrior.
