Brighthampton is a hamlet which is contiguous with the village of Standlake, about south of Witney, in West Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England.
==Archaeology== A large pagan burial ground from the 5th and 6th centuries has been found south of Malthouse Farm in Brighthampton. It was revealed when ploughing disturbed human bones in 1820. Excavation in 1857–58 found 54 burials, 10 cremation burials and a wide range grave goods, which are now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Notable artefacts found include an iron sword with a gilt scabbard and an ornate gilt brooch. Since then set of six burials was found at Malthouse Farm in 1892, and the burial of a child was found in 1949.
