In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Malltraeth like this:

The river Cefni flows along the E boundary, and terminates in a wide and long expanse of marsh and foreshore, called Malltraeth sands. The marsh has a desolate appearance; but has, too some extent, been drained and embanked; and is crossed by a viaduct of the Chester and Holyhead railway.
