Kenneggy Downs is a hamlet on the A394 in Cornwall, UK. It is situated in the west of the civil parish of Breage (where the population at the 2011 census was included.), 5 miles (8.0 km) east of the town of Penzance.[1] On 3 September 1879 a tenement was sold by auction at Kanneggie Downs.[2] The hamlet contains a public house. Kenneggy Downs is north of the twin hamlets of Kenneggy.[1]

There is also a Kenegie at Gulval, near Penzance; Kenegy is Cornish for bogs.[3]
