stone (st) \na traditional British unit of weight, rarely used in the U.S. Originally the stone varied in size, both from place to place and according to the nature of the item being weighed. A stone of sugar was traditionally 8 pounds, while a stone of wool could be as much as 24 pounds. Eventually the stone was standardized at 14 pounds avoirdupois or approximately 6.350 29 kilograms -- a convenient size because it makes the stone equal to exactly 1/2 quarter or 1/8 hundredweight. Today the stone is used mostly for stating the weight of persons or animals. No -s is added for the plural.\n\nfortnight \na traditional English unit of time equal to 2 weeks or 14 days. The word, a contraction of "fourteen nights," has been used since at least the 1100s.

The mass of half a cup of gravel is the property of matter equal to 0.24 liters (240 cubic/cm) of the gravel's resistance to changes in either the speed or direction of its motion. The mass of the gravel is not dependent on gravity and therefore is different from but proportional to its weight.\n\nI took 6 gravel samples from my backyard and weighed it.  I threw out the largest and smallest number then averaged the remaining 4 values.  I came up with an average gravel weight of 1128 grams per cup. or 564 grams per 1/2 cup.

It was defined in England since Ethelred the Unready (968-1016). In fact, a pound (money) was originally a pound (weight) of silver, and the symbol for pound (money) is a stylised L.
