Default Selecting drawing objects or shapes in a macro

I have an application where an Excel cell contains either
a red dot or a red dot with a circle around it. These are
drawing objects or shapes. When I delete the contents of
a cell, they stay put. I have to select them individually
and delete them, which is what I want to automate with a
bit of code. What I want to do is delete the dot within
the active cell, and delete the contents of the cell. I
just can't figure out how to select the dot in the active
cell without knowing the individual shape range. What I
want to do is:

ActiveSheet.Shapes("Oval 955").Select

But I want to select whichever "Oval" is in the active
cell. Is that possible?

Thanks,

John
