The jugular foramen is a hole on the underside of the skull. This is the hole that the jugular vein goes through to reach your brain.
In anatomy foramen means opening, so anything with the word foramen implies a hole of some sort.
Example: Foramen ovale is a hole in the fetal heart, after birth (and our first heartbeats) There is flap that closes over the hole to prevent blood from mixing between the left and right atrium.
