For fun
I thought I'd mention the canon security that Gondolin has, specifically the fact it is patrolled by giant fucking eagles. You leave the boundaries, an eagle eats you. I just added guards to make it more fair.
'How big are these giant fucking eagles, John?'
These giant fucking eagles are this big, baby:
Thorondor
The Lord of Eagles in the First Age, said in The Silmarillion to be the "mightiest of all birds that have ever been", with a wingspan of thirty fathoms (54.9 meters, or 180 feet) and a beak of gold (wikipedia)
Now, even as Fingon bent his bow, there flew down from the high airs Thorondor, King of Eagles, mightiest of all birds that have ever been, whose outstretched wings spanned thirty fathoms; (silmarillion)
Thank you for your time.
