caroteel

In England and Great Britain, 15ᵗʰ – 19ᵗʰ centuries, a unit apparently based on the capacity of a small cask, perhaps a tierce, used for such commodities as dried fruits, but defined on a per commodity basis by weight, for example:

cloves	4 – 5 hundredweight
currants	5 – 9 hundredweight
mace¹	3 hundredweight
nutmeg	7 – 7½ hundredweight

A 15ᵗʰ century English source, a port book for Southampton, says that a caroteel of oil was ¼ of a pipe.

1. Worlidge says “malt,” but this is probably a typographic error, as his data is identical to, and apparently taken from, Hatton (1701), who says “mace.”
