Implicit (system) timestamp per record?

Does it exist?

I've got a table of dates things happened to a user, and some of the fields are missing (noone bothered to mod the code to populate them).

I'm hoping that MSSQL has some hidden field(s) which store the datetime a record was created/last modified.

If so I could update the missing fields based on the record creation/last modified datetimes of other records in other tables.

Keyword seaches here and at MSDN show nothing so far.

AFAIK, only if you explicitly created the timestamp field or if the table is part of a replication plan.
