B, V and Ic photometry of the eclipsing binary HV 2274, located in the LMC, was obtained with the CCD system at the Mount John University Observatory, Lake Tekapo, New Zealand during 1990. Over 100 data points were acquired in each filter to an estimated precision of 0.02 mag. The flat maxima evident in the light curves suggest that the system, which is currently classed as an interacting candidate, should probably be considered as a detached one. A revised orbital period based on the inclusion of current data is presented. Eclipse timings indicate an eccentric orbit. An apsidal period in the vicinity of 120 yr is likely.
