Having failed to coax the circlip out with a couple of picks, I did a little judicious drilling into the circlip and created a small dimple in the clip and a small nick in the edge of casting. This allowed me to get a purchase on the remains and hook it out.
Turning my attention to the other end of the prop shaft I discovered that, for some unknown reason, someone had hammered a German one mark coin into one of the recesses where the circlips go. I have absolutely no idea why. I had assumed that it was a substitute for a circlip, but the circlip was happily in place beneath it. Oh, well. It just joins the list of the other curiosities that I have am finding on this car.
