Can't whip something up now, but there is a `modificationTimeField` [1]
which might be worth investigating (or you could just add a 'modified'
tag to your metadata section and handle that. Seems a bit more laborious
but way more reliable).

Are you talking about modification date stored by the file system? In
many cases this date does not make a lot of sense as file may have lost its
original date on re-creation. You should either have additional tag in
your post metadata

or retrieve this information from the VCS (it seems to be common to
store Hakyll website sources in Git or something like that), which is
much more complex task. And, AFAIK, Git does not preserve original timestaps
on checkout.
