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 Hill is a known archeological and fossil site.
