As well as Warwickshire, they are also visible on the online map that is 
provided by Worcestershire County Council:
    http://gis.worcestershire.gov.uk/website/Countryside/

For example, there is one labelled "21563(D)" at:
    eastings-northings: 395587,274158
        grid-reference: SO955741
       lon-lat (WGS84): 52.365455,-2.066234

The online map calls them "Unclassified Road (green lane)" whereas 
Worcestershire's dataset uses "UUCR" (meaning "unsealed, unclassified 
county road").

The dataset for Worcestershire has 78 UUCRs.
