下方 has [news,nf09] and 上方[かみがた] has [news1,nf11].  i suspect that じょうほう is used much more often in the news than かみがた and the tags are misplaced. かみがた might get a spec tag if it's felt it's common enough?

The words above the door of the theatre were a metre high.
その摩天楼はまわりの他の建物の上方にそびえていた。 [T]

Then, with a final, terrible scream, the monster flung itself off the mountain to its death on the rocks below.
