The basic unit of weight in the British system is the grain-originally based on the weight of a grain of barley (but note that money was based on the grain of wheat-and that three grains of barley weigh the same as four of wheat). This grain is the troy grain-there is no other weight of the same name. The weight of one grain is constant throughout the many different systems of British weights. As you will see below, the ounce and pound are anything but contstant, but have altered to meet circumstances over a period of over a thousand years. The avoirdupois pound is the pound in general use today.
