The Meneage is a district in west Cornwall, United Kingdom. The nearest large towns are Falmouth and Helston.
The meaning of the name Meneage is "monastic" and the probability is that in the post-Roman period the land was in the possession of a confederacy of small Celtic monasteries. These may have been founded by missionaries from Brittany. "The north-eastern half of the Lizard peninsula ... has, for the last 1000 years at least and probably for a considerable time longer, gone by the popular name of Meneage, pronounced Menāgue. This name, like Roseland, has no official significance."—Gilbert H. Doble.
The Dry Tree menhir is a ten foot standing stone located on the ex-RAF Dry Tree site at Goonhilly, from which the station takes its name. It stands at the point where the boundaries of six parishes meet, including four of the Meneage parishes.
