A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Treflys from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"TREFLLYS, a parish in the [registration] district of Festiniog and county of Carnarvon; on the coast, 2 miles E of Criccieth [railway] station. Post town: Criccieth, under Portmadoc, Carnarvonshire. Acres: 999; of which 218 are water. Real property: £435. Population: 91. Houses: 17. The living is a [perpertual] curacy, annexed to Criccieth. The church is old."

In 1934 Treflys was abolished as a parish and split between Dolbenmaen, Criccieth and Porthmadog. (Source: Wikipedia)
