Using SQUID magnetometry we find that in (Ga,Mn)As films the in-plane uniaxial magnetic easy axis is consistently associated with particular crystallographic directions. It can be rotated from the [-110] direction to the [110] direction by low temperature annealing and we show that this change is hole density related. We demonstrate that the magnitude of uniaxial anisotropy as well its dependence on the hole-concentration and temperature can be explained in terms of the p-d Zener model of the ferromagnetism assuming a small trigonal-like distortion.
