Javadoc for IAnnotation states that:

"Annotations are obtained using IAnnotatable.getAnnotation(String).

Note that annotations are not children of their declaring element. To get a list of the annotations use IAnnotatable.getAnnotations()."

What's an IAnnotatable? IField, ILocalVariable, IMethod, IPackageDeclaration, IType.

There are methods on ICompilationUnit for getting objects of those types.
