If, like us neanderthals in Sussex you don't have weighing scales or the like,

you could cut a rough cube (any size will do) and put it in water.

 

If it floats about half way up then it is half the density of water so 1m3 would weigh half a metric ton (500kg). If it drops down 3/4 of its sides then it is 750kg, etc....

 

If it sinks - bugger. It's over 1 ton per m3

 

Oh for the simple life.
