Beinn-y-Phott, known as Penny-Pot, is a peak of 1791 feet on the Isle of Man.[1] It is skirted by the main road used for the famous TT race and is near Windy Corner. 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.[2]
