Two time rifts existed on Earth in ancient [[Egypt]] and [[1871]] [[Paris]], being two of several fractures created by [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart]]'s [[time travel]]ling. The Seventh Doctor explained that these fractures could not be mended, and that they damaged the [[space-time]] they passed through.

The [[Pict]]s knew of an inter-dimensional temporal rift in [[Aberdeen]] that could allow the [[Eater of Light|Eaters of Light]] to enter [[Earth]], albeit only one at a time. They built a cairn around it and had a "[[Keeper of the Gate]]" periodically open the portal to prevent it from widening. Whilst the portal was open, a single warrior would enter and fight the creatures back. As time passed much more slowly in the creatures' dimension, a few minutes of battle there equated to six or seven decades of peace outside.
