==History==
Susunia Hill is a known archeological and fossil site. Fossil remains of [[Asiatic lion]], [[giraffe]], [[hyena]] and other animal species have been discovered from areas around. The so claimed 'oldest' rock inscription of West Bengal is located here. There is an ancient carved monolith (Narasingha stone) standing at the point where the spring water is coming out of another stone gargoyle or curved projected spout. It is also used as a location for camping and rock-climbing.

Susunia village itself is home to stone-carving craftsmen. Susunia is an important archaeological site in [[History of Bankura district#Assimilation with Proto-Indo-Europeans|Bankura district]], yielding stone age tools.<ref>{{cite book |last=Mukherjee |first=Shyam Chand |year=2012 |chapter=Shushunia |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Shushunia |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=[[Asiatic Society of Bangladesh]]}}</ref> It is believed that there earlier was a fort built by King [[Chandravarman]]. Some 4th-century inscriptions are there, referring to a place called Pushkarana, once the capital of Chandravarman. Modern-day [[Pakhanna]] is considered to be ancient Pushkarana.The rock-edict reads that- ''The devotee of 'Chakkaswami' (Lord Vishnu), the King of Pushkarana, son of the King Simhavarmana, King Chandravarmana offers the revenue of the village named 'Dhoso' for the purpose of worship to his Lord Vishnu.'' There is a symbol of 'Wheel' or 'Chakra' near the rock-edict and towards the lower left side of the wheel, there is another line written in a script,not deciphered yet, probably the obscure 'Samkhalipi'(Conch shaped Script!), as opined by some experts.<ref>{{cite web
