That is one little bit of track by the station at Hertford East and yes, 
including that as a disused siding would be fine. Basically that is the 
bit you can see here:

   http://maps.compton.nu/compare#18/51.79990/-0.06999/mapnik/bsa

where the start of the old track comes off just before the station and 
loops round the back of the current platform.

You won't find any sign of it like that west of the station. For example 
the bit here:

   http://maps.compton.nu/compare#18/51.79986/-0.07726/mapnik/bsa

is now a very long thin car park, and the bit here:

   http://maps.compton.nu/compare#18/51.80072/-0.08732/mapnik/bsa

is now a footpath (the line of trees in the aerial) and this bit:

   http://maps.compton.nu/compare#19/51.79602/-0.09156/mapnik/bsa

which used to be the link with the Hertford Loop south of the station at 
Hertford North is now used as an access road for track maintenance.
