So one place I look at for inspiration is actual historic defensive systems.
While it is a of stone. Earth Works are a good thing. Ditches, Palisades, and crenellations are also all things that I have used to my advantage in my current building methods.
The other thing in later castle construction was sectioning off a bailey so that an enemy force if they broke one gate would have to go through two or three more and the defenders could retreat and regroup.
Sounds like this last bit is what you are thinking about... but with moats rather than earth works or walls. If you want to get some ideas honestly look at historic castle and Fort defences it can be very useful.
