[R] Adjusting for heaping in data

Hi R users. I am new to the community and have got myself into a little problem.

I have a dataset of birth weights recorded by nurses at a delivery
clinic in an developing country.

The weights are entered in KiloGrams with one decimal. However there
is substantial heaping at each 500g when looking at the sample in a
histogram. Do anyone of you know a easy way to adjust for this and if
it exists an R package to implement the method?

Best regards
Thomas Fröjd
