That's the size that caused this:
An aerial view of the Barringer Crater/Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona. To get a scope of the size, note the building and scenic overlook on the upper left side of the crater's rim.

I went there 30 years ago. Of all the places I visited in AZ on that trip, this one was the most disappointing because we couldn’t walk down into the crater on account of “it’s a sensitive ecological environment and people contacting it would ruin it.” On the plus side, however, our tour of the crater was led by Ranger Rick.
We’re looking around the property for where to put in a small pool/jacuzzi so fingers crossed.
We/they used to call that Sunset Crater. For some years a guy owned the property and spent big bucks trying to find the meteorite digging everywhere.
I think the current conclusion is that it just vaporized upon impact so a few tourists walking around down there wouldn’t likely find anything or disturb “the environment” - rocks and dirt.
