Beinn-y-Phott, known as Penny-Pot, is a peak of 546 metres (1791 feet) on the Isle of Man, about 2 km SW of Snaefell. It is at the southern end of the parish of Lezayre. It is skirted by the Mountain Course used for the TT races and is near Brandywell. It is covered by moorland and a detailed dating of its vegetation through the Holocene period has been made — mostly heathers, peat mosses and sedges.
