Funny how a single thought can lead to things. I am so easily distracted.

The thought was, "I wonder if snowmen could act as sentries?"; and the answer was yes. Although the distance of the death hedge needs to be tweaked a bit, and lava/obsidian would be a better base than water/wood for the few that get past, and sometimes when instantly loading the area (ie going there through a nether gate) they can jump the fence; but it works fairly well at agro/killing surrounding mobs.
Anyway, on the aforementioned hole, I just finished one corner of the surrounding staircase to it.

Also, is anyone here familiar with tips and tricks to noteblocks? I managed to get the song put together for the main castle in a separate program, but am finding it difficult due to the type of space I am left with. I know I can dig down and put a few layers subterranean, but I'd still like to keep it as small as possible. It has two separate repeating parts along with an equal amount of unique content in between, and I'd like for it to be able to loop. Problem is; about 240 beats per cycle. EDIT: And it would be nice if it started and ended with the connection to my minecart tunnel and left based on the directions of entrance and exiting with a button there as well just for listening to it whenever.
Though annoying, I am making considerable progress on the castle again, with the added motivation of knowing I have to sell the game I'm basing it from soon.Although, I might just finish the interior of the remaining two rooms and one tower that come from the game and leave the exterior for some time in the future since I am getting busy again. EDIT: The duplication process is complete. The interior is finalized except for the music room, which I can finish along with the remaining exterior later. I must, and I mean this, must take a break from MC for a while to sort some things out. To Zelkova, this may be as much as a few months. If during that time, you choose to reset the server and start a new map, please, PLEASE save a copy of it first and PM me a link.
