Residents in Llangadog said trucks and lorries were smashing into buildings that have already had thousands of pounds spent on them.
One property, once thought to have been a toll house, has been hit three times.
The Townscape Heritage Initiative, which oversees the restoration work, said there was growing concern over the rise in traffic through the village.
Around £1.5m is being spent restoring landmark properties in Llangadog and Llandovery.

"It's a very small narrow road and these large lorries are coming through the village and causing problems for everyone," he said.
