My largest compound is in Meadow, surrounded by entrenchments and earthworks. I have wards (which seem to only warn of intruders), and overlapping workbench areas of effect.
In spite of that, 2 trolls (normally nuisances) spawned just outside the door, and proceeded to destroy the entire wing of my compound. I was preparing food, so hadn't eaten, and was killed instantly when I tried to stop them in spite of full wolf armor. My upgraded atgeir was slung, and once I was near the trolls, I was blocked from equipping it (not for the first time).

If there is no way to build a defensible base, there can be no operations past hunting and gathering. What's the point?

was this an event "the ground is shaking"? Or did 2 trolls just spawn there?
