First thing to do is check the County Council's definitive map (it 
should be online, with reference numbers) to check that it is still a 
public right-of-way, and hasn't been closed or diverted since the OS map 
was made.

If it is, you walk to and fro along it until there is some evidence on 
the ground, and then you map it as highway=footway with 
designation=public_footpath and foot=designated.

cheers,

Martin.
