In one of my recent fortresses goblin ambush spawned on area i thought i had made safe. It was 1 z-level high hill which continued outside the map. On the hill I had channeled few tiles on the edges to make sure the hill is safe, however goblins jumped over 3 wide space onto the hill (spawned)

My suggestion is to make ambushes come from the edges of the map and not to spawn in arbitary and unreachable places.

Er, they do spawn on the edge of the map. It obviously wasn't safe enough.

[Quarterblue]

Actually they do spawn on the edge of the map and head towards your fortress unseen until they are discovered by one of your dwarves (or pets).

[dwarfhoplite]

then they all jumped over 2 or 3 space :/

[Mckee]

Or you messed something up. No offence, but out of the two possible causes 1) The AI have done something totally undocumented by anyone else who plays this game or 2) One person made a small mistake that allowed them entry, I know which one seems more likely.

Did you remove the ramps after channeling?

[Reelyanoob]

Well you cannot channel the edge of the map, the game does not allow it, so there will always be a path around the edge (though you can take out edge ramps by building a floor there), you sure there was no ramps or path onto that hill?

Was your map square? I seem to recall that in non-square maps the "edge" on the longer side was inside the map to make a square with the shorter side.

Granted, I haven't played in a while so this might have been fixed.

So do you have a non-square map?
