1. Oval pit: lateral to the (sternoclavicular) articular surface, for attachment of the costoclavicular ligament.

2. Groove for the subclavius: lateral to the oval pit.

3. Conoid tubercle: near the flat posterior border the clavicle, for attachement of the conoid ligament.

4. Trapezoid ridge: extends obliquely from the conoid tubercle to the (acromioclavicular) articular facet of the clavicle, for the trapezoid ligament.
