Suhodoll, now in the municipality of Graçanica, lies about 2–3 km north of historical Lipjan, near the Sitnica River. At Bregu in the northern part of the village, roof tiles, bricks and stone slabs have been found, indicating an earlier settlement connected with the inhabited landscape around Skullan.
The settlement is mentioned in Graçanica documents from 1321 and in a record from 1331. A register from 1455 records 30 households, while residents also appear in the Holy Trinity book in 1465. Albanian muhajir families settled here after the expulsions from the Sanjak of Niš in 1877–78. After 1920, agrarian reform brought extensive Slavic colonisation to the area.
In 1999 Suhodoll had 23 Albanian houses with 171 residents and around 150 Serbian and Montenegrin houses. Serbian forces burned almost all Albanian homes and household property; the Albanian population was expelled and took refuge in Kroibardh. Today Suhodoll belongs administratively to Graçanica.
