Place above taken advantage of (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

put upon

'taken advantage of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'place above' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'above' becomes 'upon' (I've seen this in another clue).
'put'+'upon'='PUT-UPON'

(Other definitions for put upon that I've seen before include "Exploited" , "Place on top of - or exploit" , "as Cinderella was" , "Take advantage of" , "Inconvenienced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
